DMX says… ‘I didn’t mean to commit identity theft’
Rapper DMX supposedly had no intention of committing identity fraud after using a false name.
The rapper claims he simply wanted to avoid attracting more attention than necessary when he went to Scottsdale Mayo Clinic last April to receive treatment for pneumonia.
DMX was later charged with theft and taking the identity of another after using the alias Troy Jones and leaving before settling the $7,500 medical bill.
But his former road manager, who accompanied DMX to the hospital and gave nurses the fake name, insists the crimes weren’t committed on purpose.
Said the road manager, “I wanted him to just get the service immediately… Usually when you say an artist like DMX, everybody is so star-struck they not concentrating on what’s going on.”
Even if the prosecutor believed this particular story, the hip-hop star is still in jail awaiting sentencing after entering a guilty plea to four other charges of animal cruelty, drug possession and theft in three separate cases.
