Embattled rapper DMX is in trouble with the law again. The hip-hop star was arrested in Phoenix on Nov. 18 on suspicion of parole violation. The rap star, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has served two stints in jail in 2010 and most recently walked free in August after serving 18 days of a 90-day sentence in connection with a 2002 reckless driving conviction.
Simmons was detained by police in Phoenix on Thursday evening on suspicion of violating the terms of his release and failing to check in with his probation officer, according to Myfoxphoenix.com, the website for the area FOX News station.
The rapper has been ordered to attend a probation revocation hearing on Nov. 24. The hearing could result in him being jailed for a third time in 2010 if he is deemed to have broken court rules.
Simmons served time in jail in Arizona earlier this year for a previous parole violation charge. He was released in July after four months behind bars.
