Intro
While many stars deal with bouts with law-enforcement, it’s been an especially long and dreary road for DMX—the most recent addition to his robust mug-shot collection coming just yesterday. Besides the obvious frustrations we all have as fans for inability to simply stay out of jail, we’re always shocked/disappointed/shaking our heads every time we see a new mugshot of Dark Man X because it reminds us just how far he's fallen. That's why we put together Style History: DMX’s Mugshots. So click ahead to see only a few of X's many mugshots and our guess for what he was thinking of at the time.
