New York judge frees rapper
A New York judge let The Game go free Thursday on a charge that he impersonated a police officer.
Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Marc Whiten gave the West Coast rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, a conditional discharge, meaning that if he isn’t arrested again within six months, the misdemeanor charge will be dismissed and the case file sealed.
Taylor, 27, of Glendale, was arrested Nov. 16, 2006, after he told a cab driver that he was an undercover police officer and directed him to run several red lights, police said.
