- He’s being held at Valley Jail (Van Nuys) pending a court appearance; representatives haven’t commented.
Authorities and local outlets said the incident unfolded early Thursday on Ventura Boulevard, where video shows the Grammy winner walking nearly nude before officers responded to reports of a naked man in the street. Police say the performer, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, charged at officers; he was taken to a hospital for a suspected overdose and later booked on suspicion of obstructing an officer.
Additional footage circulated by entertainment media captured Hill earlier that morning in minimal clothing, adding detail to the timeline leading up to his detention. The Los Angeles Times and AP report he was subsequently transferred to Valley Jail in Van Nuys; as of the latest updates, he remained in custody pending an initial court appearance.
Police have not released further information about his condition following the brief hospitalization, and representatives for the artist did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Outlets emphasized that the arrest is on suspicion of misdemeanor offenses while investigators review evidence, including the newly surfaced videos.
