 Joseph Simmons, the son of founding Run DMC member Rev. Run, was arrested on marijuana possession on Friday night (May 8) in Manhattan's Upper Westside.
According to the New York Daily News, the 19-year-old was busted by police while in the act of purchasing weed in Washington Heights, and reportedly tried to get rough with the officers.
Police told the paper that JoJo was behind the wheel of his BMW, rolling a joint, when officers knocked on his window.
He threw the vehicle into reverse and tried to flee the scene, but slammed into a parked car. He then put the car back into drive to move forward, but hit another parked car.
They said from there, he tried to fight with police.
JoJo was arrested, and charged with attempted reckless endangerment, criminal use of drug paraphernalia, resisting arrest and criminal possession of marijuana.
JoJo is best known for appearing on Rev. Run's MTV reality show "Run's House." He's also trying to launch his own rap career with a trio called Team Blackout, rhyming under the alias "Make It Happen."
