dmx.jpgThe brother of DMX’s wife, Tashera Simmons, was arrested on Saturday, along with the couple’s nanny, on felony drug possession charges. According to Westchester’s Journal News, DMX’s brother-in-law, John Draughn, was pulled over in Yonkers after he ran over some hazard markings while exiting the Saw Mill River Parkway. Police arrested him when they discovered that he was driving without a license, and a subsequent search of the vehicle turned up three ounces of cocaine and five ounces of crack. Draughn and nanny Olivia Blankendal were both charged with first-degree possession of a controlled substance, even though he claimed he had the drugs before he picked her up and that she knew nothing about them. Blankendal was released on Tuesday on $2,500 bail, but Draughn was ordered held without bail. DMX’s lawyer, Murray Richman, will represent both defendants in Westchester County Court. Richman reportedly told Judge Barbara Zambelli that Draughn was simply driving Blakendal home to Brooklyn after her Tuesday-to-Saturday shift at the rapper’s home in Mount Kisco.
