The Game Pleads Not Guilty To Punching Off-Duty Cop

Earlier this year, Los Angeles rapper The Game was charged with making criminal threats and assault and battery after an altercation during a basketball game with an off-duty police officer. According to reports, Game has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The “100” rhymer was arrested and later released on $50,000 bail. The March incident was caught on video. LAPD officer Onyebuchi Awaji also filed a civil suit against Game, claiming he suffered brain damage from being punched by the 36-year-old entertainer.

No trial date in the criminal case has been set yet. Game is scheduled to return to court on January 11.
