| Rapper DMX Arrested |
Troopers in Greenville
pulled over in a 1978 Plymouth station wagon Thursday night after
spotting it traveling erratically, the South Carolina Highway Patrol
said. DMX, whose real name is
Earl Simmons, was driving, he was given a
field sobriety test and failed, the agency said.
The rapper was charged
with driving under the influence, driving without a license and driving
without a seat belt, the patrol said..
However, his publicist, Domenick Nati, said DMX wasn't arrested for DUI.
"He was arrested early
this morning but quickly released," Nati told CNN. "X was given a
breathalyzer test and easily passed it. He is back at his home in South
Carolina and we are continuing our focus on his upcoming album and
acting roles."
But the state highway
patrol responded to a CNN inquiry Friday evening by repeating that the
42-year-old rapper was arrested and charged with driving under the
influence, driving without a license and driving without a seat belt.
DMX has faced various criminal charges in the past, including probation violation, illegal drug possession and animal cruelty.
