According to reports, the chap I like to call a one man challenge to US law enforcement, DMX, has incurred further charges whilst serving a ninety day sentence, after he apparently threw a tray of food at a Maricopa County detention officer. As previously reported, the rapper, real name Earl Simmons, in in the clink because of a number of offences, including theft, drug possession and cruelty to animals.
County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is said to have confirmed that Simmons was charged with aggravated assault this week. The altercation apparently arose because Simmons took a meal he was not supposed to take, as he was on a bread-and-water diet because of an earlier transgression. Which sounds quite archaic. Is that a widespread practice? Answers on a postcard, please.
