Run-DMC rapper's son Jo-Jo Simmons gets out of jail



The son of Run-DMC founding member Joseph Simmons "walked this way" - directly out of a Manhattan courtroom - one day after being arrested on drug possession charges.

Jojo Simmons, 19, was released on his own recognizance after being charged with two counts of possession of marijuana and a count of resisting arrest, officials said.

Police had initially slapped Simmons with attempted reckless endangerment, a felony charge, but a Manhattan judge Saturday gave the aspiring rapper a lighter rap.

Police said the hip-hop heir was behind the wheel of his BMW, which has "JoJo" embroidered on the head rests, rolling a joint when narcs knocked on his window Friday.
