DMX releases statement regarding his arrest in South Carolina last night when cops pulled over a car he was riding in for making an illegal U-turn.

During the stop, cops say they found weed in DMX’s car so they put the rapper in ‘cuffs.  South Carolina Cops also say they also noticed a warrant out for DMX stemming from a previous driving without a license case and informed him that he needed to go to jail.

Here’s the drop:

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ … DMX smelled like he was drunk and was in possession of WEED at the time of the arrest.

Cops say X was a passenger in an F350 truck that made an illegal lane change. When they stopped the ride, cops say they found a bag of weed sitting on the arm rest of the passenger door, where X was sitting.

Cops say one of the officers recognized DMX during the arrest and knew there was an active warrant for his arrest.  The officers proceeded to search the car … and found 3 more bags of weed under the driver’s floor board. … so they cited the driver for possession of weed.

According to the report, DMX became “very aggressive with his words and was making multiple idle threats.”

X was ultimately cited for weed and hauled to a nearby jail to deal with the warrant. 

DMX was driving last night with his two assistants Shawn Durham and Shawn Rhodes when he was arrested.  DMX has now reached out to us trough his rep, Domenick Nati with the following arrest statement:

We just got the story from X and the statement is below.

“DMX was driving in the passenger seat when the vehicle he was in was pulled over last night. Although officers pulled them over for a minor traffic violation, DMX was asked to step outside so they can search the vehicle. Officers then claimed that they found bags of marijuana in the floorboard and arrested X. No drugs were found on DMX or the other passengers and the alleged bags of marijuana were never shown to DMX or the other passengers. DMX was released this morning at approximately 11am EST and is back at his home in South Carolina.”
