Rapper The Game incited a Twitter flash mob to call and tie up phone lines at the LA Sheriff’s Department — a move that could bring criminal charges.

According to TMZ.com, the rapper tweeted the number to the LASD yesterday and urged his followers to call the # if they wanted to intern for him.

His tweets resulted in hundreds of calls flooding the LASD switchboard for 3 hours, preventing emergency calls from getting through.

Once the LASD tracked down The Game’s tweets, Sheriff’s Capt. Mike Parker tweeted him with a warning that his tweets were compromising public safety. The Game responded: “Y’all can track down tweets but you can’t solve murders? Dat was an accident but maybe now yall can actually do yall job!!!”

The Sheriff’s Department plans on filing a complaint with the district attorney’s office which could lead to charges of interfering with a peace officer in the line of duty.
