Just another day in the life of DMX. The rapper was arrested early this morning for a DUI, caught driving under the influence in South Carolina.
TMZ reports that Highway Patrol picked up DMX Friday morning around 3 AM ET for allegedly driving under the influence. DMX was out of the Greenville County Detention Center by 4 AM ET.
The rapper, who currently resides in South Carolina, has more than a dozen arrests to call his own.
[UPDATE: DMX's Publicist Responds]
DMX's publicist has responded to the allegations that he was drunk driving early this morning. Read the statement below.
"Allegations about DMX being arrested for drunk driving are false. He was arrested early this morning but quickly released. X was given a breathalyzer test and easily passed it. He is back at his home in South Carolina and we are continuing our focus on his upcoming album and acting roles."
[UPDATE: Video Of The Incident Surfaces]
Footage of DMX's arrest has been revealed by TMZ. Early on in the video, X can be heard speaking to the state trooper who pulled him over. "I don't have a license with me, sir. I don't have a license with me. I have my ID." He also admitted to having a suspended license.
Although X remained civil throughout the stop (which included several field sobriety tests that he allegedly failed), he admitted to having consumed alcohol earlier that night, and actually nodded off in the squad car on the way to the station.
That's all for now. Peep the footage below:
