Following his apology on CNN this week, The Game is off the hook for his Twitter prank that jammed calls for hours at the Compton Sheriff's station.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department ended their investigation into the incident on Wednesday (August 17), less than a week after it all happened.
Capt. Mike Parker told the paper that there was not enough evidence to charge Game (real name: Jayceon Taylor).
"I have been consistent in saying we were going to gather all the evidence pertinent to this case and to present it to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office for consideration of a criminal filing," Parker said. "In the end, based upon the facts known to us at this time, we are not seeking criminal charges. However, if new facts were to come to light, it could change our stance."]
Late Friday afternoon (August 12), the rapper tweeted out the Compton station's number to his over 580,000 Twitter followers (@TheGame), prompting hundreds of calls, which jammed phonelines and delayed emergency service.
The prank, gone wrong, prompted police to investigate the matter and planned to hit Game with charges -- including making annoying or harassing phone calls via electronic device or the Internet whether or not conversation ensues; delaying or obstructing peace officers in the performance of their duties; and knowingly and maliciously disrupting or impeding communications over a public safety radio frequency.
News of the incident spread, and CNN spoke to the rapper earlier this week ... in which he apologized for the trouble the tweet caused.
Now, the situation is a wrap.
