DMX is under arrest
DMX’s mug shot
DMX was arrested at his Phoenix-area home earlier this week for . . . *drumroll please* . . . speeding. Radar cameras caught the rapper doing 114 in his ‘66 Chevy Nova II. He faces charges of racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment, and three counts of criminal speed and driving on a suspended license. Holy shit. The Arizona Daily Star says:
About 8:24 p.m. Jan. 21, the state DPS says Simmons was photographed on the northbound lanes of the Loop 101 driving a 1966 Chevy Nova II at a speed of 100 miles per hour. One minute later as his car reached the Loop 101 at Cactus, cameras recorded Simmons speed at 114 mph. Less than three minutes later Simmons was caught on camera at 101 miles per hour. The posted speed limit is 65 miles per hour.
After a period of investigation, DPS officers made the arrest of Simmons Tuesday at his home. Simmons was cooperative. He was booked into the Scottsdale City Jail and bonded out Wednesday. His case was forwarded to the Scottsdale City Prosecutor’s Office, the news release said. (Source)
Also caught by the cameras flying by in the blink of an eye? DMX’s career. Someone should have told the guy that driving over 88 miles per hour wasn’t going to transport him back in time to an era when he was still relevant. It was just gonna cause him to lose his fans, self respect, and earning potential . . . so a lot like appearing in another Steven Seagal movie.
I like how his name is on his windshield lol
i’m pretty sure he was too drunk to notice his speed
That’s me in the passenger seat and I’m selling the story.
I’ll give you a hint; crack is whack.
i’m just surprised that heap sustained 100 for over 4 minutes!
We was trying to get back to smoke some rocks.
Another famous(?) asshole that broke the law…YAWN…how original.
Yeah, like ‘rapper’ is not a synonym for ‘ex-convict’. Or ‘future convict’.
From now on DMX will ride his pimped BMX.Respect.
does anybody else remember the days when all this would have gotten you was a speeding ticket? not all these other charges, i mean come on, five different charges, eight individual. and racing on the highway, wheres the other car?, you kind of need at least two cars for it to be a race; or wait i know, it was when the cops finaly pulled him over that they saw in his right hand a stop watch and a clipboard on the seat with a list of times and speeds, oh i see now he was racing himself, trying for that self improvement i see.
-ps- thats a chevy Nova II, you bet your ass that it can do those kinds of speeds.
