 On Friday a judge in Arizona has sentenced DMX, the famous rap singer, to ninety days of imprisonment. His charges include drug, theft and animal cruelty charges.
Thirty eight year old DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, has been in custody since the month of December 2008.
Maricopa County Superior Court Commissioner Phemonia Miller gave DMX no credit for the time served and also threw him on supervised probation for eighteen months.
The rapper cum actor, whose hit albums include "Year of the Dog ... Again" and "It's Dark and Hell is Hot," has been in legal trouble since last year. In May, he was detained on drug and animal cruelty charges after deputies of the sheriff raided his home. The concerned authorities also have found dog carcasses and malnourished pit bulls.
He was also charged for faking identity and providing false information during a trip to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, in a suspected attempt to evade paying the bill.
DMX had pleaded guilty to the charges to settle 3 criminal cases against him and agreed not to own animals or possess firearms.
"After several run-ins with the law, Mr. Simmons is finally being held accountable for his actions. We will continue to prosecute aggressively all cases involving cruelty to animals," added Andrew Thomas, the county attorney, in a statement.
However the attorney of DMX could not be reached immediately for comment.
