Rapper DMX faces another traffic violation

Associated Press, December 18, 2004

NORTH CASTLE, N.Y. (AP) -- Rapper DMX was arrested for allegedly speeding on a highway in upstate New York, a week after he pleaded guilty to driving through an airport parking gate while on drugs.

The 33-year-old rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was pulled over Wednesday evening on Interstate 684 after driving 104 m.p.h. (167 km/h) in a 65 m.p.h. zone, police said.

Because his licence had been suspended after the airport incident, Simmons was arrested on charges of third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation. State police said he was also charged with speeding and driving an unregistered vehicle.

Simmons was released on $350 bail and ordered to appear in court Jan. 18.

Simmons was charged in June with smashing into a gate with his vehicle at Kennedy airport after telling a parking lot attendant he was a federal agent. He later admitted to being on Valium at the time.

Simmons pleaded guilty in that case last week and was sentenced to a conditional discharge, meaning further violations within a year could land him in jail. He also was fined and ordered to forfeit his sport utility vehicle.

Prosecutors were investigating whether Wednesday's speeding arrest violated the terms of Simmons's discharge.
