Lil Nas X is back out after a wild week in L.A. The rapper was arrested early Thursday morning (Aug. 21) after police say he was spotted naked walking down Ventura Boulevard. When officers showed up, things escalated — authorities claim he resisted arrest and injured three officers in the process.
He was formally arraigned in court, where he pleaded not guilty to four felony charges: three counts of battery on a police officer with injury and one count of resisting an executive officer. The judge set his bail at $75,000 and also ordered him to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings while the case plays out.
Police say they believe Lil Nas X may have been under the influence during the incident, but his lawyer insists otherwise, calling the whole situation an “aberration” and saying drugs weren’t involved. If convicted, the “Old Town Road” star could face up to five years in prison.
