Into the pop courts, and rap type The Game is in prison after pleading no contest to a felony firearm charge in relation to that much previously reported incident in which the hip hopper pulled a gun on a man after an argument about a basketball game.
The incident took place last February and was all the more serious because it took place in a 'school zone' where illegal gun possession is considered even more serious. The rapper originally pleaded not guilty to charges relating to the fracas, but reached a plea bargain with prosecutors in a bid to avoid the five year jail sentence he could have faced if he'd been found guilty of all the original charges.
By pleading no contest to the one firearm charge he will spend 60 days in jail, will be on probation for three years, and will serve 150 hours of community service. Some reports in the US of a four month jail term were incorrect.
