GO Speed Racer GO - DMX Arrested for Doing 114 MPH

Rapper DMX was arrested in Arizona yesterday for driving at speeds ranging form 100 to 114 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour stretch of highway. Born Earl Simmons, the entertainer was also driving with a suspended license.The occasional actor was photographed by three different speed patrol cameras driving his 1966 Chevy Nova II on the Loop 101, a local highway notorious for racers and speed seekers.

Police arrested DMX at his home in Cave Creek, AZ and charged the rapper with racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment, three counts of criminal speed and driving with a suspended license.

“This is an important arrest,” Roger Vanderpool Director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety told AllHipHop in a statement. “Criminal speeding endangers the lives of everyone on the road. Mr. Simmons wasn’t signaled out because of his notoriety, we have made several arrests in the last few months of those people who flagrantly violate the speed limit and therefore endanger the lives of everyone else on the road. The photo enforcement program on the Loop 101 is making a difference with safety out on the highway.”

DMX was booked into the Scottsdale County Jail and released earlier today.

In related news, the rapper is still under investigation for animal cruelty charges in Phoenix, AZ. The so-called “toughest Sheriff in America,” otherwise known as Sheriff Joe Arpaio, stated in a recent press conference that investigation "is in full progress."

"Very soon, I will announce a resolution to that case,” he said.

DMX was accused of animal cruelty last August, after officials found 12 undernourished dogs and three buried dogs at the rapper’s home.
