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.

16. people are soo judgemental why dont you take your stupid comments elsewhere. You guys dont even know him only what you see on tv so stop being so immature. Do you know how many people smoke pot? Its not that big of a deal but just because TMZ posts it its supposed to be some big thing? I hope TMZ shuts down one day they are very judgemental and do you know how many people do hard core drugs and never get arrested? Now those people need help but some get free passes and keep on using, I dont think smoking weed is anything to get upset about, I have never done it but seriously just who cares?

20. Please don't attack Rev Run. Anyone who knows and loves God is aware that he (God) did not make us perfect. We all make mistakes whether we believe in God or not. Please do not attack Rev Runs faith because of his son's mistake.

22. Not that much of a surprise. When i was in college, the biggest pot smokers were from NYC and California! It's just peer pressure, that's all. He's trying to keep up his street cred.
