Drugs and a gun were found on rapper Nelly's tour bus at a West Texas checkpoint where several celebrities have been arrested, US authorities have said.
Hudspeth County sheriff's officials said an initial search turned up small amounts of marijuana and heroin and a loaded gun.
Authorities said a second search revealed a duffel bag containing about 10lb (4.5kg) of marijuana.
