DMX is Heading Back to Jail

Rapper-turned-preacher DMX is heading back to jail after pleading guilty to verbally threatening a guard during his last stint behind bars.

The rap star, real name Earl Simmons, was released from prison in Arizona last month, but could be on his way back to the state's Tent City Jail.

DMX originally pleaded not guilty to felony attempted aggravated assault, but he has coped a plea, according to TMZ, and he is due back in Maricopa County court for sentencing on Monday.

The hip-hop star walked free from the Maricopa County Jail after serving time on charges of drug possession, animal cruelty and theft, stemming from various arrests in 2008.

He was originally due to serve 90 days behind bars, but his stay was extended after he allegedly assaulted a corrections officer during his incarceration.
