DMX
has been indicted by an Erie County grand jury on charges
that he failed to show up at Cheektowaga town court, to
serve his jail time for a traffic violation conviction last
year. DMX, who was supposed to serve 15 days for driving
without a license, was released in March after showing up
13 days late to begin serving his time, because he was finishing
up promotional work for "Exit Wounds," in which
he starred opposite Steven Segal.
DMX is also
facing felony assault charges in Alden after a scuffle with
officers. According to charges, DMX became upset when authorities
told him he had to stay the full duration of his sentence,
due to his behavior while locked down. DMX responded to
the news by throwing a food tray, which struck and bruised
a correctional officer, resulting in a felony charge of
assaulting a corrections officer.
"He vehemently
denies assaulting anyone." DMX’s lawyer Paul Cambria
said.
