Lil Nas X Charged With Four Felonies in Los Angeles Arrest

Prosecutors say he injured officers after police confronted him for walking naked on Ventura Boulevard.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles County District Attorney filed three counts of battery with injury on a peace officer and one count of resisting an executive officer.
  • Police say they found the 26-year-old on Ventura Boulevard around 6 a.m. and that he charged at officers before being arrested.
  • Officers suspected a possible overdose and took him to a hospital for evaluation before he was booked into jail, where he remained through the weekend.
  • An arraignment is set for Monday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, where bail is expected to be addressed.
  • TMZ published bystander video showing him first in briefs and cowboy boots and later fully naked, as reporting also notes an initial misdemeanor booking and conflicting accounts about officer injuries.
