Rev Run's Son Popped for Weed

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.

63. Lighten up people! MOST of us did some stupid things in our youth. He has great parents who will work through it with him and hopefully he will be enlightened by his mistake. He who is without sin can cast the first stone.....anyone???

64. why be suprised?
everyone smoked weed or has done some type of drug.
white kids sniff/smoke & sell coke or weed (they get off easy) but they always want to make a black person go down!!!

65. I guess the whole jist of it is that he was caught in a car buying pot. Then he tried to run away from it. Wish there was more compassion for Bristol Palin, having been caught with her proverbial knickers down. My take is that you can role model and lead and teach your children to the "nth degree", but there will be mistakes and mishaps, and how they deal with those mistakes is the test. Point being, don't try to run over a policeman, if that was even the case. Can we not all agree on that?

I'm white and I have not smoked weed, I haven't done drugs and I don't sell drugs. So you really cannot say that about ALL OF US WHITE PEOPLE!

Why is it when a black person gets in trouble with the law, or they can't get a good job, they always blame everything on us WHITE PEOPLE.

This isn't the slave days, so stop acting like WHITE people have anything to do with black people getting in trouble!

70. I was waitint in front of the court to do my comunity sevice reading the daily news. when i read the article about JoJo. so i told the other guys there that JoJo was in the bull pens. While waiting to start my service Rev Run walked in to the court. They made him take of his belt and all to walk through the metal detectors. He was there with his older brother and some other guy that had the cuff of his pants dragging on the floor. I got pics of them while i was waiting..

75. I would be more surprised if he DIDNT have marijuana.

He is 19- he's black- and his dad is a former rapper.
