Lil Nas X pleads not guilty to felony charges of assaulting police

Lil Nas X, 26, faces four felony charges after allegedly injuring three officers during his arrest following an erratic public incident, prosecutors said.

  • On Monday, Lil Nas X was charged with four felonies after prosecutors say he charged at officers while wandering nearly naked on Ventura Boulevard last week.
  • Police say officers responded after they found Lil Nas X walking nearly naked around 6 a.m. on Thursday on Ventura Boulevard and suspected a drug overdose, taking him to a local hospital before booking him.
  • Footage and prosecutors' filings detail Lil Nas X strutting in underwear and cowboy boots, later nude in Studio City; prosecutors say three officers suffered a head abrasion, hand injury, and back sprain.
  • At his Monday arraignment, Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty, posted $75,000 bail, and Judge Sarah Ellenberg ordered Narcotics Anonymous meetings or outpatient treatment with a Sept. 15 pretrial hearing set.
  • District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said `Attacking police officers is more than just a crime against those individuals but a direct threat to public safety,` while family and supporters expressed concern and one online commenter stated `Another added.` The case has sparked debate on celebrity accountability and law enforcement responses to erratic behavior.
