PHOENIX, AZ --
DMX was arrested after speed-enforcement cameras captured him in his bright yellow 1966 Chevrolet going 114 mph on a suburban Phoenix freeway.
The rapper/actor was taken into custody Tuesday at his north Phoenix home without incident, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said Wednesday. He posted bond and was released.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was booked on charges of criminal speeding, public endangerment, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.
Electronically activated cameras placed along the Loop 101 freeway in Scottsdale captured him three times on Jan. 21 in his Nova II with a large “DMX” decal on the windshield. He was driving at 100, 101 and 114 mph.
The speed limit on the stretch of roadway is 65 mph.
The 37-year-old’s lawyer, Murray Richman, said he had no comment.
