The eldest son of rap legend Rev. Run of seminal Queens, N.Y., group Run-DMC, was arrested for possession of marijuana Friday night.The 19-year-old 'Run's House' co-star, Joseph "JoJo" Simmons Jr., was seen purchasing marijuana and rolling a joint inside a car on Manhattan's Upper West Side.
According to reports, Simmons Jr. then tried to avoid the arrest by reversing his car and nearly backed into the arresting officer's car. The rappin' reverend's son was charged with possession, resisting arrest, attempted reckless endangerment and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.
The Simmons family has yet to release an official statement, although Run's most recent Twitter update at the time read "You can learn many things from your Children.. (Patience for instance!)"
JoJo was released after appearing in front a judge Saturday and posted his status on his Twitter page. "I'm alright everybody!"
We're sure that made for an interesting Mother's Day in the Simmons home.
