You probably didn't want to be at [url id="/ontv/dyn/runs_house_season_05/series.jhtml"]"Run's House"[/url] on Saturday morning. That's because on Friday night, Joseph Simmons Jr., 19, known to millions as "Jojo," was arrested on Manhattan's Upper West Side after allegedly buying marijuana and trying to run away from the cops, according to a spokesperson for the New York Police Department.

After being spotted by police allegedly purchasing marijuana and then rolling it into a joint, the aspiring rapper attempted to evade arrest by throwing his BMW in reverse, almost backing into a police cruiser. The younger Simmons, who is the leader of a rap crew called Team Blackout, struggled with police attempting to apprehend him.

The NYPD spokesperson said Simmons was booked on a felony charge of attempted reckless endangerment (for backing into the police car), two misdemeanor charges of criminal use of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest and a violation for marijuana possession.

Reverend Run, Simmons' father and the legendary co-founder of of [article id="1608562"]Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trio[/article] Run-DMC, called MTV News on Monday morning (May 11) with an exclusive comment on the incident. "I didn't always have this collar around my neck," Run explained. "I come from a rap, rock and roll background. Jojo is all right. It's working itself out. We're pulling together as a family going forward. You live and learn." Run also said his son was released without bail on Saturday.

The younger Simmons could not be reached for comment at press time, but he Tweeted around 3:55 p.m. on Saturday afternoon, "I'm alright everybody!" His dad Tweeted early Saturday morning, "you can learn many things from your Children ... (Patience for instance)."

New York's Daily News reported on Sunday that Simmons was released on his own recognizance after a Manhattan judge dismissed the felony charge of attempted reckless endangerment.
