DMX Could Face Up To Seven Years For Bizarre Airport Shenanigans

Rapper/actor DMX must be preparing for a new role.

Following the lead of such visionary performers like Marlon Brando, DMX (real name Earl Simmons) has started method acting to fully understand where his character might be coming from.

His upcoming performance as an FBI agent who don't take no crap from nobody was sampled last Thursday by a lucky few in New York, as Simmons slipped into character for a public display of his acting talents.

As we reported last week, DMX was arrested in a bizarre incident that had him allegedly impersonating an officer and trying to steal a car. Few details were available at the time, but more info has since emerged, though it explains very little as to what was going through DMX's head.

The scene played out like one of DMX's movies. Picture it: a surly but righteous FBI agent pulls up to the parking lot gate at New York's Kennedy Airport, but the guard refuses to let him pass. The agent, in an SUV complete with lights and sirens, urgently demands to be let out because he's a government agent then, tired of letting this low-level security guard keep him from public enemy number one, he bashes through the gate and tires squealing, drives off.

Cool, huh?

OK, here's another scene, still at the airport: carless, the loose-cannon-with-a-heart-of-gold FBI agent demands the use of a citizen's automobile.

As the man feebly refuses, Agent Simmons informs him he's an FBI agent, and proceeds to forcibly remove the man from the car. Don't get in the way of a police investigation, suckah!

Reportedly, all of this actually happened.

And DMX wasn't preparing for any new role. The rapper, who had hundreds of dollars on him, allegedly just didn't want to pay the $9 parking fee at JFK Airport and then got pissed off when someone cut him off. After rocks of crack cocaine were allegedly found in the SUV (along with a billy club, of all weapons) both Simmons and his friend Jackie Hudgins were promptly charged and arrested.

The two are charged with criminal possession of a weapon and controlled substance while Simmons is also charged with criminal mischief, impersonation, menacing, driving under the influence and endangering the welfare of a child. The driver who Simmons tried to eject from his vehicle had his 13-year-old daughter in the car at the time.

The two men face up to seven years in jail.
