A judge sentenced rapper DMX Friday to three months in jail for theft, drug possession and animal cruelty charges.
The 38-year-old rapper whose legal name is Earl Simmons, was ordered to complete an animal offender treatment program.
Simmons was arrested in May at his Cave Creek home on suspicion of seven counts of animal cruelty and four counts of drug possession.
The arrest came eight months after an August raid on his property where Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies found 12 malnourished pit bulls and the remains of three dogs.
Authorities also discovered numerous weapons and drugs.
