Joe Simpson busted for DUI

One of music’s weirdest fathers, Joe Simpson, found himself in handcuffs last week.

Simpson, dad and manager to Jessica and Ashlee Simpson, was pulled over by cops in LA around 10 pm on August 4, according to TMZ.

The new grandpa to Jessica’s baby daughter Maxwell Drew, was arrested by the LAPD after officers suspected him of being intoxicated. He spent the rest of the night behind bars.

Simpson, 54, was released the next morning and no charges have yet been filed. This was his first offense, so he will likely get off with a fine.

The former minster is famous for some bizarre comments, including one about his daughter Jessica’s chest.

“Jessica never tries to be sexy. She just is sexy. If you put her in a T-shirt or you put her in a bustier, she’s sexy in both. She’s got double D’s! You can’t cover those suckers up!” he once told GQ.
