DMX Gets Arrested Yet Again

Miami police arrested DMX outside a Wal-Mart on Thursday, charging him with failing to appear in an Arizona court. Born Earl Simmons, DMX was supposed to attend a pretrial for marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession on Tuesday. Those charges aren't the only ones he's facing in Phoenix, either. The rapper was also arrested on drug and animal cruelty charges in May after a police raid of his Cave Creek, AZ, home.

"This guy is treating our legal system like a revolving door," Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said to Reuters. "It's time we closed the cell door on him."
