Son of Reverend Run Arrested for Drug Possession

Jojo Simmons of Run's House Arrested for Drug Possession

Jojo Simmons, “star” of the MTV reality TV show Run’s House and son of Joseph Simmons– who puts the “Run” in Run DMC— was arrested Saturday and charged with drug possession and one count of resisting arrest.

Jojo Simmons, 19, was released on his own recognizance after being charged with two counts of possession of marijuana and a count of resisting arrest, officials said.

Police had initially slapped Simmons with attempted reckless endangerment, a felony charge, but a Manhattan judge Saturday gave the aspiring rapper a lighter rap.

Police said the hip-hop heir was behind the wheel of his BMW, which has “JoJo” embroidered on the head rests, rolling a joint when narcs knocked on his window Friday.

I don’t know what’s dumber– the fact that he sat in his car and rolled a joint in plain sight of whomever might happen to walk by, or the fact that he has “Jojo” embroidered on his headrests. Other sites are reporting that the attempted reckless endangerment charge mentioned above was added when he tried to flee, but slammed into two parked cars and was quickly apprehended.

His sister, Vanessa Simmons, responded to the arrest on Twitter, saying “As humans, we all make mistakes … they make up your life lessons and experiences … Jojo is ok, he just made a oops …”
Oh, to be rich and the son of someone famous! You get to learn so many valuable life lessons with so few consequences attached.
For my part, I am going to spend the rest of the day trying to process the unbelievable revelation that the son of a famous rapper smokes pot. Shocking.

  • Yeah but the “Rev” acts so high holy and good Christian on his show I was just waiting for something like this to happen. Like JoJo once stated, “They’re not the Huxtables”

  • I would say the dumbest thing would be trying to flee on a freaking pot charge. You are probably not going to get into THAT much trouble. Almost running over people is going to f you up way more than a marijuana charge

  • ok first why you got a bmw withought tint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! second why flee because some dumb weed possession you aint distributing so that charge aint shit now intent to sell then RUN….. you know he just strted smoking to be that scared and run,everyone knows thats just a slap on the wrist. advice to jojo if you cant take the heat stay out the kitchen stop actin gangster no body gonna think you hard because of this just stupid
