Rev Run's Son Popped for Weed

Posted May 8th 2009 11:12PM by TMZ Staff

Rap legend Rev Run's teenage son Joseph Simmons Jr. was arrested tonight for possession of marijuana.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the 19-year old was seen allegedly buying the marijuana and rolling a joint while sitting in a car on Manhattan's Upper West Side. We're told he tried to get away by throwing his car into reverse, and nearly backed into the officer's car.

Simmons Jr, known as JoJo on the MTV reality show "Run's House," was also booked for resisting arrest, attempted reckless endangerment, and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.

14. There is no reason to start attacking Rev Run #8. Anyone who knows and loves God is aware he did not make us perfect. We all make mistakes whether we believe in God or not. Please do not attack Rev Run and his faith because of his son's mistake.

15. Wonder how this will be spinned.
Will Joe Jr support Gov Arnold & say marij should be legalised?

Joe Jr was stupid 2 sit & roll it in public. DUMBASS.
Then he tries 2 get away!

I wonder why he was caught? Were the police watching him? Or was his supplier the 1 under surveillance?
