In the tweet below, Akademiks notes that Dex is now headed to the Los Angeles Country Jail, where he will have to spend the next six months of his life. Dex allegedly broke the protective order against his ex, and that is why he was put in custody. Moving forward, Dex will now have to wear an ankle monitor, and if he goes within 500 yards of his ex's home, he will be placed in jail, yet again.

It remains to be seen how much of this sentence Dex will have to serve, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates.
