Deputies Disciplined For Photos With Rapper 50 Cent

WEST PALM BEACH (CBSMimai/AP) — Having their pictures taken with rapper 50 Cent while on duty landed three Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputies in hot water.

The sheriff's office says the deputies received "verbal counseling" for unprofessional behavior when the rapper appeared at the county courthouse earlier this month regarding a civil lawsuit.

Video shot by The Palm Beach Post shows the officers snapping photos with 50 Cent and holding unto his waist.

The disciplinary report says they gave "a poor perspective and lack of neutrality" and were "neglecting their assigned duties."
