Earl Simmons AKA DMX Arrested in SC Again, This Time Drugs [UPDATE]

Earl Simmons, who is better known as DMX, was arrested again in South Carolina. This time the rapper was arrested for drugs. We’ve got the latest update on the troubled celebrity.

DMX was arrested outside of Greer, when the driver of his vehicle made an improper lane change. X was immediately arrested because of an outstanding warrant.

The police officer recognized X and knew that he missed his court appearance. Not to mention, they also found a bag of marijuana beside Dark Man.

The missed court appearance stems from his last run in with the law. About a month ago, X got charged with dui. According to CNN:

“The rapper was seen driving "erratically" Thursday night at about 11:30 p.m. when he was pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to Sgt. Bob Beres of the South Carolina Highway Patrol's media relations department. After failing a field sobriety test, he was transported to the Greenville Detention Center and charged with driving under the influence not having a driver's license and not wearing a seat belt, Beres says.”

DMX’s publicist went on the offensive today, issuing the following statement:

"Although 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 X. No drugs were found on DMX or the other passengers and the alleged bags of marijuana were never shown to DMX or the other passengers."

This marks the most recent charge X has obtained on an already impressive arrest history.
