The Game's manager Jimmy "Henchmen" Rosemond has released
a statement regarding an arrest warrant that was recently issued for
the rapper in North Carolina.
Authorities issued the warrant after the Compton rapper missed a March
28 court date to face charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Rosemond, who was featured on the front page of the Money Section of
USA Today Friday (April 14), stated that his client's situation is a
result of a simple mix-up.
"There was a change of address in which Game did not receive his
court summons," Rosemond, CEO of Czar Entertainment, told AllHipHop.com
in a statement. "It was a simple mistake and yes, a paper warrant
was issued. However, his attorneys are working to clear this matter
immediately."
The arrest warrant stems from an incident in a local shopping mall on
Oct. 28, 2005. Game, born Jayceon Taylor, was in Greensboro, N.C., to
perform at Winston-Salem State University's 2005 Homecoming.
The rapper visited a local mall wearing a Halloween mask. Police accused
Game of ignoring requests to remove the mask and leave the mall.
As a result, a minor altercation between Game and an off-duty police
officer ensued, resulting in the rapper's arrest and a claim of police
brutality.
The police officer also pepper-sprayed Game and several associates during
the dispute, which was videotaped by a member of the rapper's entourage.
The altercation was included on Game's DVD Stop Snitchin', Stop Lyin'.
The Internal Affairs Department of the Greensboro Police Department
viewed the incident on the DVD and cleared the arresting officer of
any wrongdoing.
