Tucson, Arizona | Published: 05.07.2008
Rapper DMX is facing charges in connection with radar photos that show him ripping across Phoenix at more than 100 mph, according to the state Department of Public Safety.
The rapper , whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested at his Cave Creek home Tuesday on charges of racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment and three counts of criminal speed and driving on a suspended license, the release said.
About 8:24 p.m. Jan. 21, the state DPS says Simmons was photographed on the northbound lanes of the Loop 101 driving a 1966 Chevy Nova II at a speed of 100 miles per hour. One minute later as his car reached the Loop 101 at Cactus, cameras recorded Simmons speed at 114 mph. Less than three minutes later Simmons was caught on camera at 101 miles per hour. The posted speed limit is 65 miles per hour.
After a period of investigation, DPS officers made the arrest of Simmons Tuesday at his home. Simmons was cooperative. He was booked into the Scottsdale City Jail and bonded out Wednesday. His case was forwarded to the Scottsdale City Prosecutor’s Office, the news release said.
