Rapper The Game , real name Jayceon Taylor, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest Friday (10/28) at a mall in Greensboro, NC.

According to the Greensboro News-Record, police claimed that "the arrest stemmed from a confrontation that began when Taylor was asked to remove a Halloween mask he was wearing. According to the warrant, Taylor walked away from a police officer while being placed under arrest and said, 'You ain't gonna take me in,'" and "used obscenities."

The Game told a local television station that the incident was a misunderstanding, and that he "got arrested for signing autographs."
