Lil Nas X (Montero Lamar Hill) left a Van Nuys jail Monday after posting $75,000 bail and entering a not guilty plea to four felony counts tied to his Aug 21 arrest in Studio City. Prosecutors say the 26 year old was arraigned on charges stemming from an encounter with officers and was released under conditions that include treatment or regular Narcotics Anonymous meetings while the case proceeds.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney has charged Hill with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer. Authorities initially booked him on a misdemeanor after he was hospitalized for a possible overdose, but filings were upgraded following review of the incident. A preliminary hearing is set for September 15.
Video from the morning of the arrest circulated online, showing the musician scantily clad on Ventura Boulevard before police arrived. News outlets report his legal team characterized the episode as an aberration; representatives haven’t issued a broader public statement. The investigation is ongoing, and no additional details on his condition have been released.
