DMX Busted By Police In Miami
DMX was arrested Thursday afternoon (August 14) in Miami after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest earlier this week for failing to appear.
According to reports, the rapper (real name: Earl Simmons) was picked up by Miami PD outside a Wal-Mart, and hauled him down the station.
DMX’s lawyer, Charles Kozelka, said that the rapper had checked himself into a Miami hospital the day he failed to show in Phoenix and was planning on entering a rehab facility afterward, reports the Associated Press.
Those plans didn’t pan out, however, due to the warrant, the Kozelka explained, saying that he had been trying to arrange for DMX to turn himself in at the airport.
A Phoenix judge issued the warrant for DMX on Tuesday (August 12) when the rapper failed to appear for a pretrial conference on four counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and one count of possession of marijuana.
It is one of many cases X faces in the state of Arizona.
DMX Arrested … What Else Is New?
We just can’t keep up with this guy, which is why we’re a day late in posting this news, but so what.
Anyway, DMX was arrested, once again, on Saturday (July 19), at a Phoenix mall, for something he did back in April. What was it? Well, allegedly, he checked into a hospital complaining of chest pains, but he gave a fake name, address, and social security number. Why? Because he says he didn’t want the bill.
“He’s back in jail again,” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told the AP. “I don’t know why judges keep letting this guy out. Every time he goes in there, he gets out on bond … I’m hoping this is the one time he’s going to pay the penalty for his offense.”
This guy needs help, big time. He’s been arrested so many times over the past few months, we lost count.
DMX Arrested In Miami For Second Time This Week
Rapper DMX just doesn’t get it. He was arrested on Friday (June 27) in Miami for the second time this week.
On Monday (June 23) on a warrant, he was busted by undercover cops as he tried to buy week and coke. According to TMZ, the rapper approached an undercover narcotics officer and asked to purchase “30 powder and 15 weed” — street slang for cocaine and marijuana. After X handed over $45, he was arrested.
He has been jailed and his bail was set at $6,000.
It might take some jail time and detox to straighten out this guy.
