Most recent DMX charges may be dropped

DMX has reportedly reached a plea deal over assault charges against prison guards in Arizona, with a judge set to dismiss the charges.

According to reports, DMX has managed to get a plea deal over charges relating to that previously reported altercation with prison guards during his recent stint in an Arizona jail.

The rapper, real name Earl Simmons, was charged with aggravated assault against guards at the Tent City Jail whilst serving his ninety-day sentence on charges of fraud, drugs possession and animal cruelty. Some speculated the incident might lead to the hip hopper serving more jail time, but it seems that won't be so; a source has anonymously revealed that a judge is set to dismiss those charges, to which DMX will plead guilty.

Simmons was released from prison on 14 May.
