DMX ARRESTED IN MIAMI: Rapper picked up on Arizona warrant; held behind bars until October hearing

Another day, another arrest for DMX. The rapper was handcuffed outside of a Wall-Mart store in suburban Miami Thursday on a bench warrant issued Tuesday in Phoenix when he failed to appear at a court hearing.

The rapper's lawyer, Charles Kozelka, says his client checked into a Miami hospital the day he was to appear in Phoenix and was planning on entering a rehab facility afterward. Kozelka says the warrant stopped those plans, and that he had been trying to arrange for DMX to turn himself in at the airport.

According to TMZ.com, DMX's Florida lawyer, Brad Cohen, tried to bail him out on Friday, but was unable to because Arizona courts list him as having a no bail hold. X was formerly listed as having $25,000 cash bond, but somehow it's changed, the Web site stated, leaving the rapper behind bars in Miami until his October 2 court hearing for a possession charge he has in Miami.

Thursday's arrest warrant was issued by a Phoenix judge after the artist, born Earl Simmons, skipped a pretrial conference on four counts of possessing drug paraphernalia and one count of possession of marijuana.

The case is one of several Simmons is facing in Phoenix, including several animal cruelty and drug possession counts.
