SAINT MATTHEWS, S.C., March 30 (UPI) -- R&B singer Rell was one of three people arrested in a drug sting operation in South Carolina in which officials said they confiscated 50 pounds of marijuana.

Rell, real name Wilbur Gerrell Gaddis, was arrested after Postal Service agents intercepted a package containing 50 pounds of marijuana, AllHipHop.com said Friday. Agents allowed the package to be delivered to a home in Saint Matthews, S.C., where police arrested Rell and two associates Thursday.

Police said all three men arrested were charged with conspiracy to traffic marijuana.

Rell was the first male R&B singer signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. He appeared in Jay-Z's movie, "Streets Is Watching." While at Roc-A-Fella, he recorded with artists such as Kanye West, Consequence, Young Gunz and others.
