“The Game” – No Charges Filed

It could be called- “When Twitter Goes Wrong!”.

Back on August 12, rapper The Game decided to tweet his search for a supposed internship opening. In the message sent to his over 580,000 followers he posted the number to call as the emergency line for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.

That’s a no-no.

The Game’s fans jammed the line for hours. Initially, The Game (real name Jayceon Taylor) denied any wrongdoing saying the tweet was “a mistake.”

The Game then posted some defiant messages, most notably the one saying the sheriff’s department can “track a tweet down but you can’t solve murders!”

Another no-no.

Despite all this, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department issued this statement, “Based upon our investigation, as well as consultation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the LASD considers the criminal investigation into this matter closed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will not be seeking criminal charges.”

The Game issued an apology on CNN saying, “My sincerest apologies to the Sheriff’s Department, it was a joke gone wrong.”
