 NEW YORK (NY Rap online magazine) - Bad-boy rapper DMX — whose rap sheet is as long as his list of hits — was arrested last night after he and a buddy tried to steal a car at Kennedy Airport, officials said. Port Authority police were called to a dispute in a parking lot at around 8 p.m. as DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, and a man named Jackie Hudgins were arguing with the owner of the car they allegedly tried to steal, a PA spokesman said. A preliminary investigation indicated that Simmons may have identified himself as a federal agent, according to Tony Ciavolella, a Port Authority spokesman. No one was hurt and no weapons were recovered, Ciavolella said. Simmons and Hudgins were arrested on charges of attempted robbery, criminal impersonation and criminal mischief, he said. They were in custody and were expected to be taken to central booking in Queens late Thursday. DMX has acted in films including "Belly," "Romeo Must Die," "Exit Wounds" and "Cradle to the Grave." He made a cameo appearance on the UPN television show "Moesha," playing himself.
