DMX was released from a Phoenix, Arizona, jail last week after serving a 90 day sentence for felony convictions, according to a report on Billboard.com. The rapper, whose real name is Earl Simmons, left a Maricopa County jail Thursday on a $10,000 bond.

 Simmons’ attorney, Glenn Allen, said his client remains in Maricopa County and is in good spirits. “He’s extremely happy that he’s home,” Allen said. “We look forward to being able to handle his case with him out of custody.”

 A spokeswoman for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said Simmons will probably return to court to face charges added while in jail. Simmons was booked on a charge of probation violation and aggravated assault for allegedly throwing a tray at a jail officer.

 Since becoming a rapper, DMX has made headlines for multiple arrests for such illegalities as animal cruelty, reckless driving, unlicensed driving, drug possession, and identity falsification.
