After a week of circling each other, the L.A. sheriff's department has decided to not file charges against the Gamefor a Twitter prank he played on the department last week. The Game directed his Twitter followers to call a number for a possible internship, and the number he posted was the number for the Compton police station. Games fans tied up the number for hours, and the police started saying they were going to charge him for obstructing a police officer. The police consulted with the district attorney this week, and have decided not to press charges, as Game has apologized, and his Tweet would probably fall under free speech. [Billboard]
