Rapper DMX‘s traffic woes likely won’t be ending
anytime soon.
The hip-hop star, whose real name is Earl Simmons,
turned down a plea bargain in a case that stems from his arrest on traffic
charges. The rapper’s lawyer, Murray Richman, did not describe the offer
after DMX appeared in court on Monday.
Police arrested DMX in White Plains on June 2 and charged him with
speeding, making unsafe lane changes, not wearing a seat belt and driving
without a license.
DMX, 35, spent a night behind bars last month after a
judge issued an arrest warrant when he failed to appear in court to answer to
the charges. He walked out after posting $25,000 bail.
“I don’t feel
good about this at all,” the rapper said after his court appearance. “It’s not fair — $25,000 for traffic
tickets? Come on. Let’s keep it real.”
The case was adjourned until Aug. 25.
White Plains is 26 miles
north of New York City.
