Phoenix, Ariz. - DMX was arrested after speed-enforcement cameras captured him in his bright yellow 1966 Chevrolet going 114 mph on a suburban Phoenix freeway.

The rapper/actor was taken into custody Tuesday at his north Phoenix home without incident, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said Wednesday. He posted bond and was released.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was booked on charges of criminal speeding, public endangerment, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.

Electronically activated cameras placed along the Loop 101 freeway in Scottsdale captured him three times on Jan. 21 in his Nova II with a large "DMX" decal on the windshield. He was driving at 100, 101 and 114 mph.

The speed limit on the stretch of roadway is 65 mph.

The 37-year-old's lawyer, Murray Richman, said he had no comment.

DMX Arrested Twice In One Week, Charged W/ Animal Cruelty

After being freed on bond from a prior arrest this week, embattled rapper DMX was busted again this morning at his home in Arizona for animal cruelty and drug possession.

According to TMZ, DMX (born Earl Simmons) was arrested at 3:00 am at his home in Cave Creek on seven misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and four felony drug possession charges.

Cave Creek Sheriff Arpaio revealed when officers tried to issue the search warrant, the trouble star attempted to barricade himself in his bedroom. He eventually came out and offered no further resistance to the police and was booked.

Police recovered a number of weapons and drugs, and rescued five pitbull puppies. The dogs were taken to First Avenue Jail, where they will remain under the care of female inmates. Additional charges were later filled against X.

In related news, as SOHH previously reported, the rapper was arrested after cameras caught him racing his yellow '96 Chevy Nova II at up to 114 mph down Arizona's Loop 101 freeway. The speed demon was taken into custody at his home and charged with criminal speeding, public endangerment, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
