DMX Arrested — Again
Here we go again! DMX was arrested — for the millionth time — in Arizona Tuesday afternoon for allegedly violating his probation by regularly using illegal drugs during the last nine months, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told Reuters this evening.
The rapper — real name Earl Simmons — reportedly told a probation officer that he has been using cocaine and hasn’t been complying with the terms of his treatment plan.
X, why do you keep subjecting yourself to this tomfoolery?
This is just one in a series of legal run-ins for the born-again Christian; he spent 90 days in jail on drug, theft, and animal abuse charges in 2009 and was serving probation for throwing a food tray at a detention officer inside a Phoenix jail last year.
“We would hope that he is finally sent to prison,” Arpaio said. “We’ve arrested him five times already. How many times do you have to violate the law?”
DMX is currently facing five counts of violating probation.
