And more from the 'car related arrests' file now. US rapper DMX, real name E arl Simmons, has been arrested after being caught on speeding cameras in Arizona doing 100mph, 114 mph and 101mph in a 65mph zone back in January.
It's not clear why charges have only just been made relating to the speeding allegations, though it may be part of a local crack down on speeding offences. A spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety told AllHipHop.com: "This is an important arrest. Criminal speeding endangers the lives of everyone on the road. Mr Simmons wasn't signalled out because of his notoriety, we have made several arrests in the last few months of those people who flagrantly violate the speed limit and therefore endanger the lives of everyone else on the road. The photo enforcement programme on the Loop 101 is making a difference with safety out on the highway".
DMX was arrested at his home and charged with racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment, three counts of criminal speed and driving with a suspended license. It's by no means DMX's first run in with local police, and nor his first arrest in relation to incidents in his car. In fact, compared to driving through a barrier while high on drugs and then claiming you're an FBI agent in a rush, mere speeding charges seem pretty weak.
