     *DMX was arrested Tuesday after speed-enforcement cameras caught him driving 114 mph on a freeway outside of Phoenix, Ariz.

      On January 21st, cameras along the Loop 101 freeway in Scottsdale snapped him three times (driving at 100, 101 and 114 mph) in his bright yellow 1966 Chevy Nova, which had a huge "DMX" decal plastered on the windshield. The speed limit on that stretch of freeway is 65 mph.      

       Cops showed up to his north Phoenix home Tuesday and took him into custody without incident. The artist, born Earl Simmons, was booked on charges of criminal speeding, public endangerment, reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. He posted bond and was later released.      

      In other DMX news, Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff Joe Arpaio told local KTAR TV Channel 12 that an investigation into his animal cruelty charges is in "full progress."

       "Very soon, I will announce a resolution to that case,” Sheriff Arpaio said when asked about the case at a news conference.  "When I say I'm going to do something, I do it, OK? Some of you may think I do it just to get publicity and then hide."       

       DMX was accused of animal cruelty last August after 12 undernourished dogs were discovered at his Cave Creek, Ariz. home during a police raid.  Authorities also uncovered three buried dogs in the backyard.
