(CelebNMusic247-News) DMX Rep Issues Statement Regarding SC Arrest
Last night, DMX was arrested in South Carolina for driving with a suspended license having no car tag or insurance, according to the Spartanburg County Detention Center website.
Here is the drop:
A police officer who was familiar with Simmons and his several recent arrests stopped him for questioning as he drove up to the front of the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport Monday evening, airport spokeswoman Rosylin Weston told CNN affiliate WSPA. The officer arrested him when he could not produce a valid license, she said.
It was his third run-in with the law in his home state in recent months, which included a citation for marijuana possession in Greer, South Carolina, in August. He was arrested then when an officer recognized Simmons and knew there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest for failure to appear in court for a previous charge, according to the arrest report.
As for DMX history with arrests and the law he continues to rack up more violations.
Earl Simmons aka DMX allegedly “became very aggressive with his words and was making multiple idle threats” when the officer questioned him about “a bag of green plant material I knew to be marijuana” near where he was sitting in a pickup truck, the report said.
He was also arrested in Greenville, South Carolina, on July 26 on charges of driving under the influence, driving without a license and driving without a seat belt, police said. A state trooper stopped his 1978 Plymouth station wagon after he was allegedly “traveling erratically,” the South Carolina Highway Patrol said. DMX was given a field sobriety test and failed, the agency said.
DMX has faced various criminal charges in the past, including probation violation, illegal drug possession and animal cruelty.
In response to DMX arrest, his rep Domenick Nati has released the following statement in regards to Monday night‘sarrest (11/4).
The statement reads as follows:
“DMX was released at 9:46pm Eastern Monday night. He was arrested on minor traffic charges and spent only three hours in jail. This short arrest will not affect any of his upcoming concerts and he is planning on performing with Swizz Beatz on Wednesday’s Wendy Williams Show.”
