DMX is making headlines these days, but not for his music.
The 37-year old rapper, real name Earl Simmons, was arrested on Tuesday (May 6), and was booked on two counts of endangerment, three counts of criminal speeding, racing on a highway, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license, according to the East Valley Tribune.
According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety, a camera on Loop 101 through Scottsdale registered X driving in speeds up to 114 mph. The posted speed limit is 65. This occurred on the night of Jan. 21.
“Mr. Simmons wasn’t singled out because of his notoriety,” DPS Director
Roger Vanderpool said. “We have made several arrests in the last few
months of those people who flagrantly violate the speed limit and
therefore endanger the lives of everyone else on the road.“
As previously reported, DMX is also under an ongoing investigation for an August raid which revealed guns, drugs, three dead dogs and over a dozen malnourished dogs.
