American rapper, The Game, has been sentenced to three years of formal probation, 120 hours of community service and 26 anger management counseling sessions. The charges came as a result of his assault on an off-duty police officer. He was playing basketball on March 29, 2015, when he intentionally fouled an off-duty police officer playing on the opposing team. When he was stopped from playing the game, he reportedly threatened to kill the police officer.
Game also pleaded no contest to stealing a camera from paparazzi that filmed him being served with legal papers after the officer sued him. The rapper pleaded no contest to felony grand theft and misdemeanor counts of making criminal threats and battery as well.
The Game is known for being one of Dr Dre’s singers under Aftermath records. He was considered to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene into the mainstream in the early 2000’s.
