Rapper DMX
A warrant was issued for the arrest of rapper DMX born Earl Simmons, 37, turning 38 December 18th, after skipping a mandatory court date in Arizona on charges stemming from a drug and animal-cruelty case. Due to the rapper not showing up for court, Judge Michael Kemp has raised the rapper’s bond to $120,000 cash which must be paid in full according to a Maricopa County Superior Court spokesperson.

Although DMX’s attorney Charles Kozelka which was appointed by the court tried to explain to Judge Michael Kemp that his client has been having problems and has been going in and out of rehab, the Judge would not accept any excuses and has given the rapper a number of chances which allowed DMX to only pay 10% of recent bonds, $10,000 and $25,000.

Attorney Kozelka told Judge Kemp that DMX is currently in an undisclosed rehab facility.

DMX faces a series of charges which include 11 counts of drug possession and drug-paraphernalia possession, allegedly giving false information at a hospital and seven counts of animal cruelty.

DMX has been issued three fugitive warrants in 2008 for arrests in Arizona.

    […] As recently reported, an arrest warrant for the hip-hop icon was issued after DMX born Earl Simmons, 37, turning 38 December 18th, skipped a mandatory court appearance in Arizona on drug and animal-cruelty charges. Judge Michael Kemp also raised the rapper’s bond to $120,000 cash which must now be paid in full instead of the common 10 percent bond since the rapper didn’t show up for court, according to a Maricopa County Superior Court spokesperson. Though it seems that DMX is nowhere to be found, in the previous report, DMX’s attorney told Judge Kemp that the rapper was in an undisclosed rehab facility but obviously there was no solid follow-up.
