At one point in time, rapper DMX was one of hip hop’s biggest names. He had chart-topping albums, headlined sold out tours, and seemed destined for a lengthy career. A string of run-ins with the law, however, changed all that and suddenly, Dark Man X was known more for his criminal record than his music.
DMX won't see the inside of a jail cell.
Instead of talking about a comeback tour or the now debunked stint on VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab,” DMX has once again made headlines—for all the wrong reasons. On Monday, an Arizona judge sentenced the Ruff Ryder to 18 months of supervised probation for assaulting a Phoenix detention officer.
Judge Robert Gottsfield, the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge who handed down the ruling, is also ordering DMX to attend counseling.
While Gottsfield seemed to take the compassionate route with the rapper, if Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio had his way, DMX would be facing more than an extended stint in prison.
When news of the officer assault broke, Arpaio said, “This inmate has a serious anger management issue and shouldn’t be allowed out of jail or prison until he has it under control.”
On February 22, DMX became irate after being told that a food tray he took was not his. He responded by hurling the tray at the instructing officer.
