An illegal U-turn by the rapper's truck and a
warrant for driving under suspension
prompted the arrest on Tuesday, August 20. Following his arrest
late last month in South Carolina
under suspicions of driving under the influence and driving without a license , hip-hop artist and
actor DMX was again apprehended by police late Tuesday, August 20 in his home state. The
42-year-old rapper's outstanding warrant
stemming from this recent case was one of the
grounds for the police to take him into
custody, his third time to make a visit to jail
this year.
The arrest was made after the truck that he
was riding was stopped by authorities in the
city of Greer for making an illegal U-turn and
the police realized that he had a warrant out
for driving under suspension. They also found
marijuana in the vehicle, for which he and the
truck's driver Anita Shalawn Rhodes were both
charged with simple possession.
"Though officers pulled them over for a minor
traffic violation, DMX was asked to step outside
so they can search the vehicle. Officers then
claimed that they found bags of marijuana in
the floorboard and arrested," DMX's rep
stated, which made the MC "very aggressive
with his words and was making multiple idle
threats."
The MC was then brought to Greer County jail,
but was shortly released the following morning
and is now back at his home in South Carolina
where he is reportedly under house arrest. This
most recent incident is his third driving-
related arrest this year, committed after
previous multiple offenses that ranged from
speeding to animal cruelty.
