R Kelly Cult Case: Cops Call BS, No New Evidence

There is no new bombshell information proving R. Kelly is running an illegal cult in Atlanta, despite claims from a city official ... this according to the Jones Creek Police Dept.

Earlier today, Fulton County Chairman, John Eaves, told the media the JCPD obtained new, potentially incriminating evidence against the singer -- and he urged prosecutors to launch an investigation.

So, we called the Jones Creek PD to get all the deets -- and they told us point blank, there's NO new evidence and no compelling reason to open an investigation into Kelly.
