The Judge puts a leash on DMX. It’s clear that the judge doesn’t trust DMX. The rapper was back in an Arizona slammer Monday after being extradited from Florida to stand trial on multiple charges. The judge slapped him with a $120,000 cash bond, saying the oft-AWOL DMX (whose real name is Earl Simmons) is a flight risk. The judge issued a bench warrant for Simmons’ arrest earlier this month after he missed a scheduled appearance in Maricopa County Court to answer charges of animal cruelty, drug possession, and ID theft. He was arrested at his home near Miami. Police had been tipped off about his whereabouts.
