Warrant out for DMX, again

A judge in Pheonix has issued a warrant for the arrest of DMX after he failed to appear at a hearing on Friday at the Maricopa County Superior Court. As previously reported, the rap star, real name Earl Simmons, is presently facing a number of different charges in relation to different offences, and presently stands accused of drug possession, identity theft and animal cruelty. He was, of course, extradited in September to Arizona from Miami, where he was, for a time, held in custody in relation to further drugs charges. Lawyer Charles Kolzelka says that his client is in presently in rehab, hence his no show last week.
