Rapper DMX has been arrested at a US shopping centre on a felony charge of taking the identity of another.
Phoenix police Sergeant Andy Hill said DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was being taken for booking into the Maricopa County jail.
The musician/actor has had a recent string of run-ins with the law, including an arrest at Phoenix Sky Harbour Airport earlier this month on outstanding warrants after he failed to appear in court.
The week before, he was arrested in Miami on charges of attempting to purchase cocaine and marijuana.
