Joseph Simmons, Jr. pleaded guilty to one charge of disorderly conduct in New York after being busted in May for marijuana possession.
As part of the deal, Jojo will serve one day of community service and authorities agreed to drop the possession charges against the 19-year-old
Original story
Jojo Simmons, the son of Rev. Joseph Simmons, a founding member of Run-DMC and nephew to Russell Simmons, co-founder of Def Jam Records, was arrested Friday night after New York City police caught his buying drugs.
Jojo, 19, who appears in MTV’s reality show “Run’s House” with his family, was caught buying marijuana from a street pusher in the Washington Heights section of NY.
Police said the teenager was behind the wheel of his BMW, which has “JoJo” embroidered on the headrests, rolling a joint when the cops knocked on his window.
It is alleged that Jojo tried to escape by putting his car in reverse, which caused him to hit a parked car and when he tried to go forward, he struck another parked car.
Police said he then got out of the car and allegedly started fighting with them.
He was charged with attempted reckless endangerment, criminal use of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest and criminal possession of marijuana.

dont think anyone should make a big deal about it think of how many people smoke weed.. its not a big deal maybe even though his dad is a celeb o a reverand or w.e it makes him look bad n hes supose to be a good influens ce on younger siblings but i dont think he made a horrible choice yea he got caught n yea he tried geting away but i feel that epople doo make mistakes it just sucks that hes a known person soo many people makea big deal out of it ..
weed is not a stranger to this family. Several years ago His uncle x wife was caught with weed on her person and in her vehicle. Mrs lee didnt stop her car she made the police follow her until she pulled up to her home and then the drugs was found. Instead of JOJO panicin like most teenage do he should have swelled it he still would have gotten high LOL now his family name is pulled through the mud yet once again. If they would just put taxes on it the govt would make there share and alot of the misdermeanor offensive would go away
wow wow wow. why does he need to buy drugs? like seriously.
YO i was just buying i for buddies so all u guys need to chill.
LOL…. I AGREE WITH PREVIOUS POSTER!
woooooooow

dueces
Jojo sucks ass and his head is deformed
you know the thing is just because he is the the son of a hip hop icons father shows we are all human really i treat him like i would treat any body else in my family we all make mistakes and the negative respones that im seeing on this page only shows me 2 things either you never been through this or your hating jo jo just has to learn that when you are the son of a celeb you have to remember that not only is he putting his family on the spot but he is allowing other people to make him look like he is not human.but the thing is you have to learn from your mistakes my message to the haters grow up and let his family deal with it and look in the mirrior and deal with your familys own problems..PS AND FOR YOU RACIST HATERS ON HERE PUTTING THE N WORD OUT HERE ON THIS SITE WE DONT PAY YOU NO MIND CAUSE WE KNOW IT STARTS AT HOME SO WHAT WE WILL DO IS PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THAT MAYBE ONE DAY YOU AND THE FAMILY WILL SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP.
I think that itsn’t fair that jojo’s father the REV is makin it out to be all about him!!!! Just cuz there famous cry me a river…
Jo Jo everyone is human and makes mistakes. if we didnt make mistakes how would we ever learn. just cauz your dad is a rev doesn’t make you perfect or your father it just makes you human and left for the devil and haters to attack. keep your head up and keep focused, praying and learning from your mistakes is what is key. Remember your just a kid and everyone makes mistakes just dont make the same ones!!!! We are the Holmes family who has made and came over a lot of mistakes we love you. you and the family are in our prayers. God Bless One Love
Love, The Holmes Family
People kill me when lil’ b.s. like this happens. He’s a young man in the inner city like all of us are, his status make’s him super human but he is as regular as any of us. I’m sure he learned from this experience as smart kids do.Rev made the same mistakes in his youth ( “cool chief rocker keep a bag of cheeba inside my locker” )Do your home work people, we carry on the sins of our father to the 3rd. & 4th. generation.
who cares it was just some weed. yea he shouldn’t have hit the cars. But man give the guy a break he likes to smoke weed at least he wasn’t buying crack or smack or crystal shit for real though give they guy a break. Jojo just chill don’t even trip
yo dude jojo is a bitch hes gettin let off for everything cuz hes a rich little celebrity F…i just got a dui for pot when i didnt have shit on me and im lookin at 10 days in jail f… this little pussy
hahahahaha jojo’s harsh handicapped.. you looks like a gnome! his head is hilarious shaped like a retarded eightball…lol you ugly freak!!!!
it aint that big of a deal, and considering the family’s clinginess to high morals and god and all that, rev handled it pretty well (at least while the cameras were in the house).
i cant hate on him for panicing and acting foolishly, i actually did something almost identical to that when i was in my younger days. turning a simple, MIP of alcohol, poss of marijuana and poss of paraph charge but instead i ran and totaled my car and another added a felony flee and a felony hit and run to the mix… nothing is a waste if you learn from it though so hopefully he can learn his lesson out of the media’s spotlight of scrutiny and get it together.. i mean if its a shocker the kid smokes bud you’re blind. watch the show, he’s always got that dumb blank look on his face, and it wasn’t no “street peddler” like they said..
its fucking jojo simmons, that kid prolly just got caught with what he had on em, i PROMISE you, that kid buys kind bud nuggets by the pound if not more. a pound of KB is no more than $1500 (and thats a high price), that family shits $100 bills all day long.
This is so common people!! JoJo Simmons appreciates nothing and takes his life and family and all daddy’s money for granted – jojo knows that famous daddy will always yank him out of trouble so this boy will always be in trouble. He’s always gonna be fuckin up. Run’s House is a front. In front of the camera daddy is always reprimanding the kids. It is a whole different story when the camera’s are off!! How the fuck do you think his kids are such mindless, money hungry lil’ spoiled brats! Wake up people!!
Yo man!! I was arrested for pot and spent 6 days in jail!! That lil spolied brat Nigger Jojo gets out in 1 day. Big nigger daddy Rev Run needed to let his kid sit in jail the whole time and not run his FAT @SS to jail and bail Jojo out with bribe money!!!
ilove you jojo to much
ilove you joj

First of all Joe H. You are an idiot. Any bud you are getting for $1500 a pound is gonna be shit. If you think a rich kid is buying schwag then you definately are a little retarded. For good bud you are gonna spend at least 3 grand a pound, and thats still really cheap. And for all you people who bitch about him getting off easy for being in possesion, he didnt really get off easy. I cant count how many times me or my friends have had cops find weed on me and not one time were we ever arrested or charged with anything. All the cops do for anything less then an ounce is take it from you or crush it in the ground. Most places in the US dont prosecute for less then an ounce of weed. But JOJO is dumb for running cuz if he didn’t run he probably wouldnt of had any charges.
They realy need to cancell this pointless show!!! Run is extremly LOUD and that’s all he does is YELL it’s embarrasing, why does Run think that he has to scream every show? they all have big mouths and that’s all they do is YELL!!!! it gives me a friggin migrain!!!! Run is so desperate to come up with stupid acts for that lame show so he can get more money because that’s all they think of is money, he needs to give to the needy and not the greedy. he thinks he is funny and he is NOT funny at all,he acts like a child, it’s so stupid!!! his wifes voice is so dam WHINNY I can’t stand it. They need to cancell the show!!!
that show is a nightmaire, he try’s way to hard so he can get freebees, thats why his jojo is turning to drugs RUN U ARE NOT FUNNY… U ARE A JOKE
