DMX Arrested in Florida

Arizona police chiefs have reportedly offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of rapper DMX, and now the rapper has been arrested in Florida. The star - real name Earl Simmons - was scheduled to appear at an Arizona court to face charges of drug possession, identity theft and animal cruelty on Friday. But after missing the hearing, the court issued a bench warrant for his arrest and ordered the star to hand over a $120,000 cash bond to avoid time in jail. And the Maricopa County Sheriff's office offered a $5,000 reward to track down the rapper, according to TMZ.com. A lawyer for DMX has claimed the rapper is currently in rehab at an undisclosed location. A bench warrant was also issued on the rapper in September when he missed a previous appearance at an Arizona court after being hospitalized for symptoms reportedly associated with a stroke. He later appeared for a short hearing. DMX is currently behind bars in the Miami-Dade County jail. http://www.thebeatfm.com/main.html
