DMX: When It Arraigns It Pours

Posted Jul 21st 2008 5:40PM by TMZ Staff

If six arrests in a year aren't a big enough problem, DMX admitted today that the high-profile lawyer representing him will be none other than ... a court-appointed public defender.

Earl "DMX" Simmons appeared in front a Maricopa County, Ariz. judge today, facing charges of stealing and identity theft. Cops busted DMX for allegedly using a false name and Social Security number at a doctor's office in April to get out of a $7,500 bill.

Bond was set at $50,000. He's due back in court on July 24.

18. So everybody is just going to judge this man as a rapper, as a black man, as a celebrity who SHOULD have enough money, as a 6-time-in-one-year arrestee and completly ignore the fact that he's reportedly BIPOLAR? It's a disease. Who thought to ask what the $7500 in medical expenses were for? Possibly psych treatment? 6 Arrests in as many months is excessive and abnormal for ANYBODY, including all of the demographic groups under which DMX happens to fall. NOBODY at the "Protect and Serve" office thought to get this guy a psych eval? We don't know his life.
