DMX Faces Prison
Rapper
He is scheduled to be sentenced November 17th. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, pleaded guilty last December to reckless endangerment and admitted to taking Valium when he smashed his sports utility vehicle into a gate at the airport in June 2004.
The rapper was sentenced to a conditional discharge, meaning further violations within a year could land him in jail.
Since the incident, Simmons has been cited for two traffic violations. He admitted in court that he had committed the violations while his driver’s license was either suspended or revoked, according to the Queens district attorney’s office.
