Rap star DMX was arrested on Friday on suspicion of drug possession and animal cruelty after two searches of his home allegedly turned up weapons, drugs, dog carcasses and abused pit bulls.

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office said DMX, 37, whose real name is Earl Simmons, initially barricaded himself in his bedroom when officers arrived at his home at 3 a.m. He eventually surrendered without offering further resistance.

“We are handling this case as we would any other incident of alleged animal cruelty,” Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a statement.
