DMX Arrested At Home For Pot And Pit Bulls

DMX has been arrested twice this week!

Three days after getting busted for a months-old traffic violation, DMX, the actor-rapper was arrested early Friday at his Phoenix area home on suspicion of animal abuse and felony drug possession following a search of the house and, a brief standoff with police when he attempted to lock himself up in his bedroom.

According to the Maricopa County sheriff's office, a SWAT team executed a search warrant on DMX's Cave Creek, Ariz., residence at about 3 a.m. in connection with a seven-month-old investigation into reports that the "Cradle 2 the Grave" star had a number of malnourished pit bulls on his property. Law enforcement serving a search warrant at the rapper's home found drugs (Pot) and firearms hidden away.

"A guy like this DMX character with all his money and fame has no excuse for not providing proper care for his animals," said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. "He has a long criminal history and obviously has no respect for the law."
