Rapper DMX Arrested at Kennedy Airport, Charged With Trying to Steal Car

NEW YORK June 24, 2004 — Rapper and actor DMX was arrested on charges that he and another man tried to steal a car in a parking lot at Kennedy Airport, authorities said.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, and Jackie Hudgins were arrested Thursday night after Port Authority police interrupted a dispute between the two and another man whose car they allegedly tried to steal, authorities said.

A preliminary investigation indicated that Simmons may have identified himself as a federal agent, according to Tony Ciavolella, a Port Authority spokesman.

No one was hurt and no weapons were recovered, Ciavolella said.

Simmons and Hudgins were arrested on charges of attempted robbery, criminal impersonation and criminal mischief, he said. They were in custody and were expected to be taken to central booking in Queens late Thursday.

A message left for the company representing Simmons was not immediately returned Thursday night.

The rapper was fined and ordered to make public service announcements for the Humane Society after police found pipes for smoking crack, a pistol and 13 pit bulls at his home in Teaneck, N.J., in 1999.

Simmons pleaded guilty to animal cruelty, disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia in that case.

DMX has acted in films including "Romeo Must Die," "Exit Wounds" and "Cradle 2 The Grave."

Maybe he still needs to prove his street cred?

He won't go to jail, actors get it easy. Like that bitch who took drugs and that bitch from Aliens Ressurection who stole stuff.

The strange thing is why would a rich musician would want to steal a car. He has enough money to buy one. It almost like Winona Ryder stealing clothes from a store. Perhaps some rich people have a obsession with theft

Some people do it for the thrill, I've heard some accounts about it. Some people talking about some mischevous Koreans stealing shit from a store and stuff. And given DMX' stature, I doubt that stuff is beyond him.

Whereas ordinary people rot in hell/federal prison.

I hope he gets bodyslammed by the law.

Well, for shoplifting, from what I understand, is not down for the goods itself really. And the demographic of people that do it cover a large amount of people that don't need to shoplift in order to get the stuff they stole.

There's a formula to calcualte the jail time a famous person gets for commiting a crime. You take the number of years in prison the combined charges should get you, and subtract that by the total number of years in prison the combined charges should get you.

I'm pretty sure after a few court cases, he'll be free and it will be as if it never happened.

And if not, everyone will cry that they're making an example out of him because he's famous.

And since the person in question is a black rapper, they'll probably say it's a plot by whitey in collaboration with the man to frame him as well. Isn't that what they're doing with Micheal Jackson?

Maybe you'd like to clarify this part. I cartainly hope you're not calling her a bitch solely because she took drugs.

At a guess I think he is talking about Courtney Love, at which point the word 'bitch' becomes redundant.
