DMX Arrested For Animal Cruelty And Drugs
Posted by Dan Haggerty on 05.09.2008



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, 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; on Tuesday, state police arrested him for driving at speeds as high as 114 miles per hour.

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.

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.

dmx is a piece of shit. He is an ignorant fuck and it's unfortunate that he's an influence on more than himself.

Q's comment is so funniest and good point, I ever seen. I prefer to see both get rape by 10 Pitbull and make Vick & DMX yell like a bitch.

Dmxpieceofshit, I agree with him, DMX is likely GAY than he think himself and he don't realize it.

I agree with Q. Neither can leave the cage until one of them dies. We can even bet on it. Karma is a bitch.

DMX and Vick are apples and oranges. Vick was running a dog fighting ring and breeding dogs to fight. DMX is just a rich man who doesn't know how to take care of a bunch of dogs but has the money to own them.

Put DMX alone in a cage with his own animals. If he can fight his way out he walks. Of course we feed and treat the dogs first....just to make it fair. =)

Plus since this is Maricopa County...would Sheriff Joe be open to a 10 min photo shoot of D in his pink shorts n shirt? hehe
