Lil Nas X pleads not guilty to felony charges of assaulting police
Grammy-winning musician Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty on Monday, August 25, to four felony charges after police say he assaulted officers who approached the singer while he was found wandering the streets of Los Angeles in his underwear.
A Los Angeles judge set bail at $75,000 and said the "Old Town Road" singer must attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings. Police said they believed Lil Nas X was using drugs at the time of the incident.
His attorney, Christy O'Connor, however, said the singer was not taking illegal drugs and that the episode was an aberration in his life.
The musician was charged with three counts of battery of a police officer and one count of resisting an officer.
