DMX Arrested For Third Time In Three Months

July 21, 2008
DMX Arrested For Third Time In Three MonthsUS rapper DMX has been arrested for the third time in as many months over suspicion he gave a false name to avoid paying hospital expenses.

The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, is understood to have presented himself as Troy Jones during a visit to the Mayo Clinic in Arizona.

Police officials in Phoenix also said that the rapper, who was arrested on Saturday in a shopping centre, had failed to pay a $7,500 medical bill in April.

Simmons was arrested earlier this month after he failed to appear in court and for driving without a license.

He was also taken into custody in May on suspicion of animal cruelty after dogs were found neglected at his home.

A spokesperson for the rapper has declined to comment on his latest arrest.
