DMX Skips Paying Hospital Bills

I am so done right now! DMX may be facing more than just animal cruelty charges. DMX, real name Earl Simmons, has been going to hospitals and giving them fake names just to skip on paying the bills. I mean, i'm sure some of us have done that before... *AHEM*, but dude, you're supposed to at least be able to pay an emergency room bill if you're rapping, or done movies, and having these insane ass dog fights!
According to the Arizona Republic, DMX checked into the Mayo Clinic back in April but assumed the identity of a Troy Jones, along with a fake address, and then admitted to giving the false info to avoid paying the bill. Who just admits to that kind of stuff? Either way, he also went into the Phoenix campus' emergency room and complained of shortness of breath and chest pains. He was later diagnosed with pneumonia but then released eight hours later. I didn't know it was an actual crime for giving a fake name to a hospital, but apparently it's some serious business. The local police are investigating the matter and plan to charge him with "theft of services". Dang homeboy... the -ish just never seems to hit the fan the right way for you huh? Get ya act together and you wouldn't have to worry about this kind of crap.
