DMX arrested for drugs and animal cruelty
Fri May 9, 2008 4:24pm EDT
PHOENIX (Reuters) - Rap star DMX was arrested on Friday on suspicion
of drug possession and animal cruelty after two searches of his home
allegedly turned up weapons, drugs, dog carcasses and abused pit
bulls.
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said DMX, 37, whose real name is
Earl Simmons, initially barricaded himself in his bedroom when
officers arrived at his home at 3 a.m. He eventually surrendered
without offering further resistance.
"We are handling this case as we would any other incident of alleged
animal cruelty," Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a
statement.
It was the second time this week DMX, who rose to fame with hard-core
rap songs and hit albums like "It's Dark and Hell is Hot," has run
afoul of Arizona authorities.
On Tuesday, state police arrested him for driving at speeds as high as
114 miles per hour (183 kph) on a freeway.
Police first raided his home in the Cave Creek community near Phoenix
last August. They found 12 distressed pit bulls and three dead animals
partially buried on the property as well as a number of firearms.
An indictment was issued on seven counts of animal cruelty after the
August raid. Police staged Friday's raid to arrest DMX on charges from
their initial investigation. This time, they also found unspecified
illegal drugs and five more pit bull puppies, which they removed from
the house.
Said Sheriff Joe Arpaio: "With all his money and fame, (DMX) has no
excuse for not providing proper care for his animals."
DMX pleaded guilty in New Jersey to animal cruelty charges in 2002 for
neglecting some 13 pit bulls, according to news reports. As part of
his sentence, he was required to make a public service announcement
against animal abuse.
He has also faced previous charges of possession of marijuana and
assault.
The rapper has sold more than 20 million albums. The cover art for one
of his recent CDs, "Year of the Dog ... Again" depicts him restraining
a snarling pit bull on a chain.
While he is best known as a rapper, DMX also has acted in several
movies including "Romeo Must Die" and "Exit Wounds."
