DMX arrested on drug, animal cruelty charges
DMX has been arrested on drug and animal-cruelty charges in Phoenix following an overnight raid on the rapper’s house.
The Maricopa sheriff’s office says the 37-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, at first tried to barricade himself in his bedroom when they raided his home.
The indictment stems from an August search of the rapper’s home prompted by reports of dogs being abused on his property.
His attorney, Murray Richman, says he told his client to expect such a raid after his efforts to make DMX available to law enforcement were rebuffed. Richman says the animal cruelty charges are not supported by the evidence.
This all just days after he was busted going 114 mph on the freeway!
Keep up the good work DMX. I sure hope he saved his pennies from when he was actually making money legally!
