The arrests of DMX (real name: Earl Simmons) and Jackie Hudgins took place around 8 p.m. after Port Authority police broke up a dispute between the two and another man whose car they were allegedly trying to take, according to Tony Ciavolella, a Port Authority spokesman.
Ciavolell also said that Simmons – whose movies have included Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds and Cradle 2 The Grave – may have been trying to pass himself off as an FBI agent.
The two were arrested on charges of attempted robbery, criminal impersonation and criminal mischief, Ciavolella said. There were no injuries and no weapons, he also said.
One of DMX's previous brushes with the law took place in 1999, when he pleaded guilty to animal cruelty, disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia after police found pipes for smoking crack, a pistol and 13 pit bulls at his home in Teaneck, N.J.
The rapper, now 33, was fined and ordered to make public service announcements for the Humane Society
