US rapper DMX has been arrested in Arizona after failing to appear in
\ncourt, pay outstanding fines and for driving without a licence.<\/p>\n
The
\nmusician and actor was stopped at Phoenix airport after a flight from
\nFlorida where he was twice arrested for driving and drugs offences.<\/p>\n
The latest arrest related to previous drugs and driving misdemeanours.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old – whose real name is Earl Simmons – was also arrested in May on suspicion of animal cruelty.<\/p>\n
Police
\nuncovered pit bull puppies, dog carcasses, weapons and quantities of
\ndrugs following a seven-month investigation after the discovery of
\nseveral neglected dogs at his home.<\/p>\n
Dog clothing<\/p>\n
Mr Simmons initially evaded arrest by barricading himself in his bedroom, but eventually gave himself up.<\/p>\n
Earlier that week he had been arrested for speeding.<\/p>\n
The musician has sold over 20 million albums as one of the most popular stars of hip-hop in the US.<\/p>\n
The
\ncover of his last album, Year of the Dog… Again, which came out in
\n2006, featured him with a pit bull straining at the leash.<\/p>\n
He
\nalso launched his own range of dog clothing, including caps, scarves
\nand raincoats for canines. It was named Boomer 129 after one of his pit
\nbulls.<\/p>\n
The arrest came six years after a US court ordered DMX to
\nmake public service announcements after pleading guilty to animal
\ncruelty, disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia. <\/p>\n
