The rapper DMX was arrested at a Phoenix shopping mall Saturday on suspicion of giving a false name and Social Security number to a hospital to avoid paying for medical expenses, The Associated Press reported. Sheriff Joe Arpaio (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/a/joseph_m_arpaio/index.html?inline=nyt-per) of Maricopa County said that when DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, went to the Mayo Clinic (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/m/mayo_clinic/index.html?inline=nyt-org) in Scottsdale, Ariz., in April, he used the name Troy Jones and failed to pay a $7,500 bill.

Bleh, it is actually very common for celebrities to check into hospitals under assumed names. I wonder if he was actually trying to avoid a bill or avoid publicity.

DMX has been ****ed up in the head for a long time...not to mention he is a well-known cokehead.

With that being said..."Its Dark And Hell Is Hot" = classic.

Lets see recently he's been jailed for posing as an FBI agent at JFK airport, the FBI found several illegal weapons in one of his homes in AZ, and now this. It doesn't look good for DMX. Ride or Die!

Back when i listed to rap i liked that album too..

Its just stupid that he should have all this money and can't even get health insurance so you dont have to avoid hospital bills..

and now he'll get to spend a lovely vacation in "tent city" there in Maricopa County. He picked a BAD place to pull a stunt like this.
