Rapper The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, is free after posting $50,000 bail early Saturday morning, May 12th. The Los Angeles Times reports that the 27-year-old rapper was taken into custody after police searched his Glendale, California home for over three hours on Friday, May 11th. He was hit with suspicion of making criminal threat charges in relation to an incident which occurred in February 2007 in which he allegedly pulled "out a gun and used it to threaten another person on the court" during a pick-up game is South Los Angeles.

As he was being taken away by police, The Game said, "I want to say that I'm not guilty, and I love California."

The Game was released from LAPD's 77th Street Division jail around 2 a.m. after posting bail.

The rapper was arrested last year in New York City for impersonating a police officer. He allegedly told a cab driver he was a police officer and to run several lights.
