"(CNN) -- Rapper DMX was arrested Friday on drug and animal cruelty charges after attempting to barricade himself inside his Arizona home, sheriff's deputies said.
DMX, 37, whose real name is Earl Simmons, faces seven misdemeanor animal cruelty charges and four felony drug possession charges, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
According to sheriff's deputies, five pit bull mix puppies were taken from the rapper's home by an animal control unit and will be taken to to a jail where they will be cared for by female inmates.
In August, deputies raided DMX's home and seized 12 pit bulls and pit bull mixes after receiving a report that the animals were being abused. No arrests were made at the time; authorities said that some of the dogs had apparently not been fed or watered but that there was no evidence of dogfighting.
They said the rapper -- who rose to fame in the 1990s with a string of platinum records and movie appearances -- attempted to barricade himself in his bedroom but eventually came out, offered no further resistance and was booked into jail.
County Attorney Andrew Thomas said the rapper's celebrity status will not change how he'll approach the case.
"We are handling this case as we would any other incident of alleged animal cruelty," Thomas said.
Friday's arrest is one of many brushes with the law DMX has had.
On Wednesday, he was arrested on charges of racing on a highway after speed cameras on a Phoenix-area freeway caught him going 114 mph, CNN affiliate KPHO reported. He was booked on charges of racing on a highway, reckless driving, two counts of endangerment and three counts of criminal speed and driving on a suspended license. "

dogs are abused all over this country, everyone speeds, but the moment its someone high profile it equals promotions/budget increases for the department that made the bust and the prosecution. throw in the fact that hes a rapper and it just makes the case that much easier to prosecute.
if you dont donate to pita, i dont want to hear about how much you care about animals. youre just looking to hate on someone more sucessful than you. im sure people are still losing a lot of sleep over michael vick (insert sarcasm).
smokes and mirrors people.

wanna know where the majority of the "accidents" in this country occur? in parking lots. going less than 15. proving that a bad driver is a bad driver no matter the speed.
most of this country cant even run 5mph let alone make split second decisions at 10mph. thats just a fact. one can choose to ignore it or accept it. you put your life in other peoples hands every time you hop on a public road. 5 or 114 it doesnt matter. in LA everyone drives 80-90 on the freeways. 114 isnt that much faster, and not remotely unsafe in a sports car capable of 150+.
nobody likes highway patrol when theyre getting a ticket, but when someone high profile does, throw the book at em. gotta love it.
