The Game's manager, James "Jimmy Henchmen" Rosemond, avoided jail time yesterday (Tuesday, June 6th), when he was sentenced to three years unsupervised probation and ordered to pay a $2500 fine by a Maryland judge for assaulting a Washington, D.C., disc jockey during a January 2005 appearance at a radio station with the Game. SOHH.com reports that Rosemond and a group of men allegedly attacked Xzulu "The Big Lipped Bandit" of WKYS-FM in Lanham, Maryland, after the on-air personality made a comment about Rosemond's headset.

Rosemond's lawyers, Scott Srebnick and William Brennan, said, "The judge's decision to place Mr. Rosemond on unsupervised probation was in recognition that he is and continues to be a positive influence within the community. We are thankful that the judge saw this case for what it was."

Queen Latifah and singer Bryce Wilson were in the courtroom to lend their support to Rosemond during his sentencing hearing.

Rosemond also manages Brandy, Sheek Louch, Guerrilla Black, and others.
