DMX: Airport arrest

(Monday May 15, 2006 11:34 AM)

DMX was arrested at Heathrow Airport over the weekend, after reportedly abusing cabin crew on a flight from New York.

The rapper and actor has apparently been cautioned following the incident on the American Airlines flight, which landed at 12.15pm on Saturday.

DMX is understood to have refused to do up his seat belt as the plane came into land at Heathrow, before then launching into an abusive tirade at cabin crew.

The captain of the flight from JFK airport alerted police on the ground and DMX - real name Earl Simmons - was arrested and then later cautioned.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman commented: "Heathrow Police were called at 12.05pm on Saturday to reports of a passenger causing a disturbance on an inbound aircraft."

Last week, US rap superstar Snoop Dogg was cautioned by Heathrow police after a fracas involving 30 people at the airport, in which a number of officers were injured.
