THE GAME PLEADS INNOCENCE IN BASKETBALL GUN CHARGES

Rapper THE GAME has pleaded not guilty in relation to firearms charges relating to an incident at a Los Angeles basketball game earlier this year (07).

THE GAME

The Hate It Or Love It star - real name Jayceon Taylor - is accused of allegedly hitting a basketball player on the opposing team before threatening to shoot him during a game at the Rita Walters Educational Complex on 24 February (07).

Taylor appeared at a Los Angeles court hearing on Tuesday (25Sep07), where he denied felony charges of possession of a firearm in a school zone, making criminal threats and exhibiting the gun in the presence of a police officer.

He faces up to five years behind bars if he is convicted on all counts.

The latest legal troubles follow the 27-year-old's court appearance last week (20Sep07), where he was given a conditional discharge for a separate charge of impersonating a police officer. In that case, the judge ruled the charges against the hip-hop star would be dismissed in six months if he stays out of trouble.
