DMX arrested for speeding a month after prison release

Rapper DMX, who was released from prison last month, has been arrested for speeding in Arizona.

State troopers pulled over the 40-year-old star on Wednesday after the car he was driving was caught on radar driving at 102mph (164km/h) on a motorway.

Officers say a check showed his licence was also revoked.

The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, is accused of criminal speeding, driving on a suspended licence and reckless driving.

DMX has been arrested at least six times in the last three years in Arizona on a variety of charges.

He was released from a prison in Yuma, Arizona, on 19 July after serving seven months for violating his probation.

He had admitted breaking the rules by drinking alcohol at a concert.

Simmons was also cited six times for breaking rules during his stay in prison, including failing to submit to a drug test that delayed his release.

The rapper, whose albums include It's Dark and Hell is Hot and Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood, returned to the recording studio after being released.
