The Associated Press reports that during the search of the rappers home, which was originally during an investigation into claims of animal cruelty, police found approximately a half-pound of suspected illegal narcotics.

Officers in Maricopa County raided DMX's house on Friday, after neighbors complained to police that dogs were being subjected to the extreme Arizona heat and possible neglect.

No charges have been filed or arrests made in the case, but according to the AP, Sheriff Joe Arpaio said the investigation into alleged animal cruelty was ongoing, and the suspected drugs were being tested to confirm their content.

DMX (real name: Earl Simmons) was not at home during the raid and his lawyer, Murray Richman, has said that he hasn't been to the property in two months.

Although police say that witnesses have placed the 36-year-old rapper at the home within the past three weeks, Richman denies the allegations.
