PHOENIX (AP) -- Rapper DMX has been arrested after speed-enforcement cameras captured him in his bright yellow 1966 Chevrolet going 114 mph on a suburban Phoenix freeway.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety announced DMX's arrest Wednesday, saying they took the rapper/actor into custody a day earlier at his north Phoenix home without incident. He posted bond and was released.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was booked on charges of criminal speeding, public endangerment, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.
Electronically activated cameras placed along the Loop 101 freeway in Scottsdale captured him three times on Jan. 21 in his Nova II with a large "DMX" decal on the windshield. He was driving at 100, 101 and 114 mph.
The speed limit on the stretch of roadway is 65 mph.
The 37-year-old's lawyer, Murray Richman, said he had no comment.
