Game Charged for Basketball Brawl in L.A.
Tuesday, June 5, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
Hip-hop artist The Game was charged yesterday with making a criminal threat and possessing a firearm in a school zone.
The felony charges against the 27-year-old rapper, born Jayceon Terrell Taylor, stemmed from a brawl during a Feb. 24 basketball game in South Los Angeles, the district attorney's office said.
Taylor allegedly pulled a gun from his red Cadillac Escalade after punching a player on the opposing team and threatening to shoot him, police said.
He was later arrested in May at his Glendale home, and was released on $50,000 bail. He is also charged with exhibiting a firearm in the presence of an officer.
Taylor, who faces more than five years in prison if convicted, is scheduled to be arraigned today.
