Nelly was reportedly arrested on charges of sexual assault early Saturday morning, according to Auburn, Washington police, who confirmed the arrest to The Blast. According to the site, a woman called the police department around 3:48 A.M., saying that she had been raped by the hip-hop star on his tour bus. (Nelly, who is touring with Florida Georgia Line, had performed at the nearby White River amphitheater on Friday night.) Seattle-Tacoma Fox affiliate Q13 reports that Nelly went into Seattle after the concert and brought the woman back with him to the bus, which was parked near a Wal-Mart Supercenter.

According to People, police who arrived found “probable cause” to arrest Nelly on charges of second-degree sexual assault, reportedly taking him into custody just after 4:30 A.M.. He was booked into the SCORE jail in Des Moines, Washington and released about three and a half hours later.

“Nelly is the victim of a completely fabricated allegation,” Nelly’s lawyer told The Blast. “Our initial investigation clearly establishes this allegation is devoid of credibility and is motivated by greed and vindictiveness. I am confident, once this scurrilous accusation is thoroughly investigated, there will be no charges. Nelly is prepared to address and pursue all legal avenues to redress any damage caused by this clearly false allegation.”

According to People, Nelly pled guilty to a misdemeanor possession of pot and possession of drug paraphernalia when police reportedly found both in his vehicle while the singer was on tour in Tennessee in April 2015.
