DMX sentenced to a year in prison
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 17 December 2010
So, DMX is back in prison in Arizona again after admitting that he violated the terms of his latest probation, which relates to his conviction for aggravated assault and using a fake name to avoid paying a hospital bill.
As previously reported, the rapper was released from prison at the beginning of July after serving four months for – you guessed it – a parole violation in the form of a failed drugs test. Almost immediately a 2002 driving conviction caught up with him, and he found himself serving a 90 day sentence. He was arrested for the latest parole violation last month.
It’s not all bad, though. DMX was told he would be given credit for days he has already served while waiting for the latest court hearing.
