DMX's first arrest happened on Tuesday for wreckless speeding (he was going 114 MPH on a suburban Phoenix, AZ freeway).

And then early Friday morning, he was arrested AGAIN after authorities conducted a pre-dawn raid at his Phoenix home. Law enforcement serving a search warrant at the rapper's home found drugs and fire arms stashed away.

The popo had been investigating DMX for about 7 months — they had received a number of complaints about DMX's mistreatment of animals.

In addition to the fire arms and drugs, authorities found 5 pit bull mix puppies, which were taken from the home to an Arizona jail where they'll be cared for by female inmates.

During the search, officers report that the rapper attempted to barricade himself inside his bedroom. DMX eventually came out with no further resistance.

Time for him to go to jail!!!!!!
