DMX Car Case Adjourned
DMX's case was adjourned today (Oct. 11), as the rapper faced charges of violating the conditions of his release after he was involved in a car crash last year at Kennedy Airport in New York.
Under terms of a conditional discharge, DMX could be sent to prison if he receives any violations within a year.
While the Yonkers-bred rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, remained silent as the judge suspended his case until Oct. 25, he was reportedly chewing gum and jumping around as he spoke to reporters, calling the charges "ludicrous."
Once his case was adjourned, DMX was also seen dancing down the steps of the Queens Criminal Court building, according to the Associated Press.
"It's been very stressful," he said. "Nobody likes to come to court."
DMX pleaded guilty last December to reckless endangerment. He confessed to using Valium at the time he smashed his SUV into a gate at Kennedy Airport on June 24, 2004, and telling a parking lot attendant that he was a federal agent.
After the airport incident, the rapper was arrested twice for traffic violations, including speeding at 104 mph near his Westchester County home.
He was fined and ordered to surrender his 1998 Ford Expedition.
DMX's lawyer, Murray Richman, said the rapper was speeding to rush his nine-months-pregnant wife to the hospital.
Richman and Queens District Attorney Richard Brown are currently discussing a possible agreement, according to Brown's spokeswoman, Nicole Navas.
After his court appearance, DMX promoted his upcoming movie “Last Hours” and album Here We Go Again, due out in December.
