DMX Sentenced to One Year in Prison

DMX

DMX is heading back to prison for one year after pleading guilty to violating the terms of his probation. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was arrested on Nov. 18 in Phoenix, Arizona, for using cocaine and consuming alcohol during a performance in an Arizona club and later failing to check in with his probation officer. He was also accused of driving on a suspended license. The embattled rapper has already served two stints in prison this year. DMX most recently walked free in August after serving 18 days of a 90-day sentence in connection with a reckless driving conviction from 2002. He also served four months behind bars earlier in the year for a previous parole violation charge, before being released in July.

pon receiving the guilty plea, Judge Christine Mulleneaux, who had previously rejected two requests by the rapper’s lawyer to release him on bail prior to sentencing, ordered DMX to serve a year behind bars. Judge Mulleneaux said, “Substance abuse issues are at the root of this problem … Your criminal history goes back to 1988. It’s going to continue if you don’t take care of your mental health.” It certainly looks like DMX will be spending his birthday behind bars. The rapper turns 40 on Dec Read more at www.popeater.com

VIP Treatment For Lil Wayne At Rikers.

Seems as though VIP treatment has been extended to Lil Wayne on Riker’s Island, and has landed a prison captain in trouble with authorities. Captain Latanya Brown has reportedly been spending time with Wayne and granting the star criminal special privileges, allowing him to remain in his cell while other inmates have been ordered out to the recreation yard. Officials at the New York City Department of Correction have launched an investigation into the claims and Brown was recently questioned about the allegations, according to the New York Post.

Wayne is expected to walk free from prison on November 5 after serving eight months of his one-year sentence.

Ron Isley released from jail after 3 years…..

It looks like Ronald Isley aka Mr. Biggs has been released from jail. He served three years for tax evasion and since getting out of jail, he spoke with Steve Harvey about being home.

“I’m overjoyed to be home and to be able to do everything that I want to do. I’m in love with this record business and I’m in love with the fans and everything and I just couldn’t wait to get back to doing that. I’m working on another album and this album is gonna mean so much. I’ve been thinking about it for 3 years and wondering what it was gone be like and what it was gonna be like to sing certain songs and wanting to sing certain songs and now I got that chance to do that.”

“It changed me a whole lot. My wife was able to visit me like three days a week and my son so that was the great thing about it. It was a little 3-hour drive for her to come to the camp where I was and I was able to get through because of that. That 3 days was everything to me man.

[But I’m home now] The family is fine. My son is 3 years old and he’s with me everyday. Me and him boy, Little Ronald.”

It appears that Ron used his time wisely while there. He helped inspire others and got involved in activities:

“…Talking to young people and crying with them and people that were gonna be in there some years and that part really hurts. To see your people and all kinds of people… older people [locked up]. And they looked up to me and like my music and we talked about our career and it was just like that man. I was working at the chapel and I did gospel shows every week and that kept me up… I’m gone do a gospel album too.”

Mr. Biggs also spoke on his other upcoming music projects and who he’s working with:“Some of the people that I’m working with on this album will be Lauryn Hill, T.I., Rick Ross and Burt Bacharach. The group is back and they were just waiting. I would like to also thank L.A. Reid and the staff at Def Jam and Fox Entertainment and Elise Murray. Just all the people that were just waiting for me to come home and for putting this together and supporting everything I’m doing. I feel like I’m 18 again and starting a new career.”

2 years for forcing his sons to fight

A Maine man was sentenced to two years in prison for forcing his 4- and-6-year-old sons to fight each other while he lay in bed and watched.

Pedro Delgado-Bristol, 26, of Rockport, Maine, pleaded guilty in Waldo County Superior Court to assault and endangering the welfare of a child for forcing his two boys to fight each other Jan. 9.

The boys told a Knox County Sheriff’s Office detective they had to hit each other with closed fists, kicks and knees to the body like the mixed martial arts of Ultimate Fighting Championship, the Bangor Daily News reported.

At one point, the older brother hit his younger brother “and hurt him, which made him cry,” Detective Justin Twitchell said in his report.

The boys also told investigators their father hit the 4-year-old with a sandal when the boy refused to fight anymore.

The boys’ mother saw the injuries when she picked up her sons from a visit with Delgado-Bristol and reported the father to authorities, the newspaper said.

Maine Superior Court Justice Jeffrey Hjelm called Delgado-Bristol’s conduct “quite depraved” and barred him from having unsupervised contact with either boy.

Delgado-Bristol will follow his two-year prison sentence with two years of probation and must complete a batterer’s intervention program, the newspaper said.
