Hip-hop legend Rev. Run decided to feature the drug arrest of his oldest son, JoJo, on the family’s hit MTV reality show, Run’s House.
Earlier this year, the 19-year-old was arrested after purchasing marijuana in Manhattan. JoJo has been charged with disorderly conduct and will not face jail time.
Reality stars Vanessa and Angela Simmons are speaking out about their younger brother Joseph “Jojo” Simmons’ recent arrest for running from the cops after allegedly buying marijuana in New York City.
The 19-year-old aspiring rapper — and star of MTV’s Run’s House — was caught allegedly purchasing marijuana and then rolling it into a joint on Manhattan’s Upper West Side last Friday, MTV News reports.
According to a spokesperson for the NYPD, Jojo was booked on a felony charge of attempted reckless endangerment, as he allegedly tried to ran his BMW into a police car. He has also been slammed with two misdemeanors for criminal use of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest and a violation for marijuana possession.
“It was a really bad situation,” the sisters told ET’s Kevin Hart during Southern California’s annual Wango Tango Music Festival over the weekend. “But everyone learns on their own and, you know what, he’s human.”
