Jo Jo Simmons Sentenced To 1 Day of Community Service

Reverend Run’s son Joseph Simmons Jr. plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct after being busted in Manhattan with marijuana in May.

 

The 19-year-old was original was caught rolling a joint by police on May 8th, while he was in a car along the Upper West Side.

 

Police accused the rapper of backing up and attempting to flee when he was caught, which added resisting arrest to the list of charges, which included drug possession, reckless endangerment and criminal use of drug paraphernalia.

 

Just days after his arrest, most of the serious charges were dropped when he reached a deal with prosecutors.

 

Per the agreement, the drug possession charges were dropped when Simmons admitted to the disorderly conduct charge.

 

Yesterday (July 16), the teen was sentenced to serve just one day community service for his encounter with the law.

 

The drama was highlighted on Reverend Run’s hit reality show Run’s House, in which the elder Run-DMC founding member chastised his son for using the drug.

Yall miss the point of how much bullshit this is...

He didnt get charged for the weed at all, He didnt get charged with resisting arrest...since he was in a car they could also hit him with an evading charge...

yet disorderly conduct?


thats what having a good jewish lawyer will get you....

Like others are saying its only a joint! What do you expect him to get 1500 hrs community service and a year in jail? I been caught with beer and weed when I was in high school and just got a fine and a day or two community service. Its not like he was moving weight or anything. Yall are stupid if yall have no record then I suggest you go step out your house and light up a joint in front of an officer and see what happens. Its not cuz he has a famous dad.

First off this is bullshit. The pulled pork came in MY HOUSE and found 1/8 of weed in a dresser drawer. My wife and I were arrested and had to post $1200 bond. They also took our 3 young children out of the home. The kids have been gone for going on 3 months while we take classes a few times a week "to better our parenting."
First off I'm a great father and like wise for her. Like Obama said, I went to the parent/teacher meetings, I read to them, and helped with their home work. I have an active interest in my children's lives. I'm doing the right thing and for a dub I get all this? Fuck Jo Jo Simmons. Fuck Russel Simmons and Rev. Run for that matter. The system is broken. And fuck whoever out there that thinks I'm wrong. Fuck ya.
