Joe Simpson, the father of pop star/designer Jessica Simpson, was arrested for DUI in L.A. last week.

According to TMZ:

According to law enforcement sources, 54-year-old Joe was busted on Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks on August 4.

We're told LAPD cops pulled Joe's car over around 10 PM ... and during the stop, officers got the feeling he was intoxicated and ultimately cuffed the famous pop and took him to the pokey.

Joe was booked and spent the rest of the night behind bars. He was released without having to post bail at 9:41 the following day.

Joe will not get any jail time, but a hefty fine is expected. Jessica and her NFL hubby Eric Johnson are new parents to an adorable baby girl named Maxwell.
