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.

46. Let me get this straight. From what i just read from TMZ. we know Jr.'s not that bright, apparently in this situation anyways. But we all know he is his own person and has a journey to walk in life just like everyone else. No matter who his Daddy is. And for the ones' who have chosen to show your judgmental, shallow side by using the protection of being anonymous....your not hiding it from anyone your friends and family see it...

47. I think a great reality show would be a celebrity family that doesn't have a script and is real. Like, yeah we have a problem with our pot-smoking son. Instead it is all a boring farce of a genre. Come to my house. I'm not a celebrity but I'm interesting. I have 2 twins who were preemies. Between them they had 6 surgeries in 4 years (including open heart.) Once that was all done my father because gravely ill. Then, the day after my husband made a $12 million deal for the company, he found out he lost his job to a merger. That's reality.

50. He is trying to be a rapper. He was working on his street cred. Give the little make believe hooligan a break.

51. @36.... HAHAHA yeah that's right, America is going to hell cause some kid smokes pot... OH MAN WAKE UP!

yall have done your lil things in the past... gald you weren't caught huh?

Leave the kid alone, there's more stuff to take care of... You, your family, your friends, your community... Start caring for those that you should care for!

Go Jojo, you learned your lessons....

52. Ha, I didn't read past the first page of comments. Comments such as "to think these idiots are our future." WAKE UP BONEHEAD, YOU THINK MARIJUANA SMOKING PEOPLE STARTED YESTERDAY OR LAST YEAR? AND THE COUNTRY (ALL KINDS OF JOBS AND ALL WALKS OF LIFE, GOT THAT, ALL WALKS OF LIFE) HAVE NOT BEEN PARTAKING IN DRUG ACTIVITY? COME OUT OF YOUR CAVE, OR BETTER YET, QUIT BEING A HYPOCRITE. Unfortunately there are many things that will not go away in our society and some of them are, illegal drug use, hypocrisy, racism, stupidity, murder, etc.

57. Leave the kid alone. He will make mistakes and learn from it. Soon, he will grow older and another young kid will take his place. It's a cycle. It's like how Craigslist was #1 but now people are using www.jobsandthings.com instead of Craigslist. Craigslist had it's day and now people are moving on to using www.jobsandthings.com.

Every kid star will have his day just like Craigslist had it's day.

And eventually they will move on from picking on this kid and pick on someone else.

It's a vicious cycle and Craigslist is being outdone by www.jobsandthings.com
