2010 is already more than two months old . . . and up through Monday, it was still without its first DMX arrest.  Well, that changed yesterday morning.

–DMX was arrested in Arizona, after he allegedly told his probation officer that he’s been using cocaine, which . . . of course . . . violates the terms of his probation.

–According to E! Online, that wasn’t all DMX told his probation officer.  He also reportedly copped to a bunch of other things that generally don’t comply with the court-ordered rules he has to stick to.  (–Sadly, no specifics there.)

–All in all, X was booked on FIVE counts of probation violation, and is being held without bond.  He had a preliminary hearing last night . . . and according to TMZ, he used that opportunity to shout some expletives in court.

–DMX’s lawyer-of-the-moment, Gary Jenkins, says, quote, “He’s been battling addiction for some time and he’s in need of treatment.  We’re hoping that maybe Dr. Drew might be able to help him.”  (–Yeah . . . that sounds about right.)

–Also, there’s even MORE good news for fans of DMX’s sensational legal troubles.  (???)  His wife, Tashera Simmons, has decided to write a “tell-all” book about her life with DMX.

–It’ll be called “Strength of a Woman”.  There’s no release date yet.
