Okay ya'll....please help me out on this one. Can DMX not afford to pay a medical bill? He has to go as far as providing false information....such trickery! I couldn't help but be reminded of his famous "What's My Name!?" well Mr. Earl Simmons, your name is not Troy Jones! And the last comment had me rolling....they have to place him in isolation because the other inmates may not like his music. From....like 10 years ago!? Lol....who cares! I guess he keeps himself in the spotlight in one way or the other. It seems adding pages to his wrap sheet is the method DMX has chosen. He should be ashamed!
According to AP:
PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- Rapper DMX was arrested at a Phoenix, Arizona, mall Saturday on suspicion of giving a gave a false name and Social Security number to a hospital to get out of paying for medical expenses.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said that when DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, went to Scottsdale's Mayo Clinic in April, he used the name Troy Jones and failed to pay a $7,500 bill.
DMX's Scottsdale attorney, Cameron Morgan, declined to comment.
Arpaio said his office began investigating the charge after an animal neglect investigation last year at the 37-year-old rapper's north Phoenix home.
DMX was arrested in that case on felony drug possession and misdemeanor animal cruelty charges after authorities seized 12 pit bull dogs and dug up the remains of three others.
The musician/actor has had other recent run-ins with the law, including an arrest at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport this month on outstanding warrants after he failed to appear in court.
The week before, he was arrested in Miami, Florida, on charges of attempting to purchase cocaine and marijuana.
"He's back in jail again," Arpaio said. "I don't know why judges keep letting this guy out. Every time he goes in there, he gets out on bond.
"I'm hoping this is the one time he's going to pay the penalty for his offense," he added. Arpaio said the bail had not been set in the recent arrest.
If DMX remains jailed, the sheriff said, he would be isolated from the rest of the inmates for his own safety.
"They may not like his music," he said.
