DMX to speak against animal cruelty under sentence
Rapper DMX Earl Simmons will record public service radio announcements for the Humane Society of the United States as part of a Bergen County sentence for animal cruelty. He received a year of probation and fines totaling 15,000 plus 2,000 for related counts, with production costs set at about 20,000 and a $13,000 animal cruelty fine. The plea deal dropped weapons and child endangerment counts against his wife Tashera, and prosecutors noted the case stemmed from a 1999 incident in Teaneck involving weapons and pit bulls. Simmons must also donate 15,000 to the Bergen County SPCA for materials. He remains active in music and film projects.
