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.

108. That's so crazy that he got away with it. Slap on the hand for ppl with money. If he was an ordinary person, he would have been in a REAL cell with some inmates. Not "protective custody". $5 says another Simmons kid does something wrong, smokin in daddy's hot tub, lol.

110. I just finished watching the show. I think they handled it beautifully, and that Jojo will learn from his mistakes. This was the perfect time for it to happen, to not only help Jojo but his brothers as well. Keep up the great work Rev Run and Christine. I love your show and hopefully I will run into you one day in Jersey. God Bless
