The Game Arrested
LA Rapper The Game has been arrested following a search of his apartment following allegations of threats made against his girlfriend. KABC-TV captured the 27-year-old rapper being driven off in the back of a patrol car as a bystander yelled, "We love you Game, we love you."

However, this does not include any other fines related to equipment restrictions or lack of permits.
