DMX Arrested In Miami For 2nd Time In A Week

MIAMI (CBS4) ― For the second time this week, hip-hop artist DMX was arrested in Miami, on drug related charges.

The 37-year-old, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested Friday on charges of attempting to purchase cocaine and attempting to purchase marijuana, according to a Miami-Dade Police Department arrest report.

Simmons was arrested during a narcotics sting operation, according to the report. His bail was set at $6,000.

DMX has recently had a string of run-ins with the law. He was picked up Monday afternoon in Miami on an arrest warrant for having no valid driver's license, and he pleaded not guilty to felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges last month in Arizona.

A call to an attorney who previously represented DMX was not immediately returned.
