TMZ reports that on Saturday, three dogs were found buried with serious wounds at a home belonging to rapper DMX, causing the authorities to investigate neglect allegations. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said one dog had serious bite wounds and another had trauma to its abdomen, but causes of death were not determined. A third dog was burned so badly an exam was inconclusive, reports the AP. The investigation stems from an August 24th raid of DMX's Phoenix home where police were probing allegations of animal neglect. Police seized twelve live pit bulls, numerous weapons, and about a quarter-ounce of marijuana from the property. "We have 12 dogs who were abused and three dogs buried in the yard," Arpaio said, "someone's going to have to pay." DMX's lawyer, Murray Richman, said, "How do you attribute activities to a person who has not been there, when they have knowledge that other persons have been. Is it because of the celebrity nature?" No charges have yet been filed against the 36-year-old rapper. This DID take place at DMX's home so how should he not be accountable? Silly fools. Michael Vick and DMX are going to be best friends forever. Finally, former basketball star Dennis Rodman is in trouble with the law again, this time for allegedly smacking the butt of a female bar hopper. TMZ learned the Orange County Sheriff's Department is investigating the incident, which allegedly took place at Hennessy's Tavern in Dana Point near Laguna Beach. One source said Carmen Electra's wedding gown-wearing ex allegedly slapped the woman's rear so hard it left a "major mark." Jim Amormino, a spokesperson for the O.C. Sheriff, told TMZ, "Officers did respond to an incident involving a man and a woman. A police report was taken, and is currently with the sex crime unit of the Sheriff's department." Oh, Dennis. What will this do to your untarnished criminal record???
