(HMG) – Rapper DMX is back in trouble again and has been arrested for allegedly violating his probation by using drugs. Well known sheriff Joe Arpaio confirmed the arrest and said the star, who was jailed in 2009 on charges of drug possession, animal cruelty and theft, stemming from multiple arrests in 2008, is now in a Phoenix jail where he is isolated from other inmates.

He added: “We would hope that he is finally sent to prison. We’ve arrested him five times already. How many times do you have to violate the law?

“DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, had served about half of his 18-month supervised probation when he was booked Tuesday night into the downtown Phoenix jail. The rapper was released from jail in May after serving a 90-day sentence for felony convictions including cruelty to animals, theft and two drug counts.

DMX’s lawyer Gary Jenkins said: “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.”

DMX’s wife, Tashera Simmons, is planning to release a tell-all book about her life with the artist, called ‘Strength of a Woman’.
