Two stars of the rap world spent part of the
holiday season behind bars. Rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight was arrested
on Monday (Dec. 23) for allegedly violating the terms of his parole and
rapper DMX was arrested on Christmas Eve for a traffic violation and providing
false identification to a police officer.
Marion Suge Knight was arrested on Monday,
after a meeting with his parole officer, according to the Los Angeles Sheriffs
department. The rap mogul was charged with violating his parole by associating
with known gang members. Los Angeles authorities reportedly discovered
evidence of these possible associations during a raid on Knights home
and office last month.
Knights home and office were searched on
Nov 14th in connection with two unsolved homicides. Authorities stated
after the raid that Knight is not a suspect in those cases.
DMX Arrested on Christmas Eve.
Rapper DMX was arrested on Christmas Eve
in Harrison, New York. Police officers pulled the rapper over after he
allegedly made an unsafe lane change in his Chevrolet Suburban.
DMX (real name Earl Simmons) was arrested
shortly after being pulled over, after he provided bogus identification
to police officers when they asked for his license and registration. Apparently
DMX was driving on a suspended license. An offense he was arrested for
in March of 2000, which ultimately landed him in jail for 11 days in March
of 2001 after he was sentenced to a reduced charge of driving without a
license.
This time around DMX has been charged with
failure to signal a lane change and possession of a forged instrument.
He was later released.
