Warrant Out for DMX

Posted Dec 5th 2008 12:08PM by TMZ Staff

DMX If you happen to see DMX today, call the cops -- dude is a wanted man.

A Maricopa County judge just issued a bench warrant for the rapper's arrest, after D missed a scheduled court appearance in Arizona to face drug, identity theft and animal cruelty charges.

And it gets worse -- even when D is captured, the judge has ruled he must post a $120,000 cash bond or else he'll be sent to the slammer.

There is a silver lining -- word on the street is that DMX is currently in rehab somewhere. Unfortunately, it's still no excuse for missing court.

UPDATE: DMX's attorney in Florida, Bradford Cohen, tells TMZ to his knowledge, the rapper is currently in rehab at an undisclosed location. Cohen claims D was supposed to show the judge documentation proving his rehab stint during his court appearance today, but obviously that didn't happen.

17. DMX is still innocent until proven guilry of any charge even though he insists guilty himself. His portrayal of a gangster rapper is definately worn but admit it he comes across strong for $13.oo. We dont know him personally and i feel we should be careful of our judgements. Who pays his bill?
