DMX has been having lots of problems with the law lately, particularly when it comes to what is and what isn’t a moving violation. He’s had so many issues with that subset of the penal code, in fact, that his license has been suspended! Which makes the fact that he was driving “over 114 miles per hour” in Arizona a few months back a bit sticky.
On January 21, the actor/rapper was photographed driving his 1966 Chevy Nova II on the Loop 101 at a speed of 100 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone.
Just a minute later, DMX, born Earl Simmons, was photographed at another camera moving at a speed of over 114 miles per hour.
Three minutes later, DMX was caught on camera driving at a speed of 101 miler per hour.
Police arrested DMX at his home in Cave Creek 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.
I guess at that speed, the “but I really had to pee” excuse doesn’t work. But who really needs to drive 114? Is DMX’s car tricked up with a flux capacitor or something?
DMX Busted In AZ For Driving Over 114 MPH [AllHipHop]
Just an oscillating overthruster malfunction. No worries.
The 101 Loop! Woo! Phoenix metro area in the HOUSE.
@Dan Gibson: Lets see…if he was on the Camera’d part of the 101…480 represent!
@Barry White Stripes, Office LW: ask and ye shall receive:

@Maura Johnston: Nicely done.
+1 to DMX for the Bumblebee Nova.
Seriously, they have big signs in the section with the speed cameras. It’s not that hard to figure out you’re going to get ticketed in the Scottsdale stretch.
This is why I do all my high speed highway driving on the south end of the 202 Loop. San Tan freeway, son!
DMX is smart.
It also helps to have your name (or stage name) splashed across your windshield in big letters, just in case there was any question.
Maybe he was rushing home to feed his dogs??
He stole a Lamborghini on a video shoot I worked on in Toronto. Returned it very fucked up. High heel marks in the leather seats.
Because that’s how Ruff Ryders roll?
