DMX
was released from jail Friday morning, and he claimed that while
he was there, guards roughed him up while he served his 11 days
for a minor traffic violation. According to DMX’s lawyer, he
has been using crutches due to an injured knee. He was thrown
to the ground during a cell search. The X-rays turned out negative
and he received medical attention for the injury on Wednesday.
The altercation
started during a routine search. The guards supposedly found
a book DMX was not supposed to have and tossed it outside of
his cell. Apparently, DMX thought it was his bible and lost
his temper, resulting in the guards taking him down to the ground
and injuring him.
DMX has not filed
a complaint and will attend the March 16th premier of his new
movie, Exit Wounds.
