DMX Update: No Bail May Have To Sit In Jail Till October


DMX appeared in a Florida court room for his latest arrest on a bench warrant issued in Phoenix, Arizona. The warrant was issued after X failed to appear for a court hearing there last week. DMX's lawyer claimed he was sick and was negotiating a surrender but in the meantime he was apprehended in Florida, while shopping at Walmart. Brian Cohen, DMX's lawyer, tried to bail him out but it seems DMX's $25,000 bail has been revoked.
"I am not questioning the veracity of anything you just said to me. I would absolutely have no reason to do that," Judge Schwartz said. "But until state of Arizona lifts its no bond status, it’s a no bond status at this point."
As a result DMX may have to stay in jail until his next court date on his Florida cases. His next court date will be on October 2nd, 2008. The Florida cases stem from a traffic violation and for allegedly buying weed and cocaine from an undercover officer in July.
Brian Cohen says he's confident he'll have the DMX out before then.
During the proceedings DMX is seen laughing after the judge joked about having prepared a rap verse but forgetting it in his office.
