Grammy-winning rapper Lil Nas X has pleaded not guilty to charges of injuring police officers and resisting arrest, following an incident in Los Angeles last week that left three officers hurt.
The 26-year-old artist, born Montero Lamar Hill, faces three felony counts of battery on a police officer and one felony count of resisting arrest, BBC reported. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison. He entered his plea Monday during an arraignment at a Los Angeles courthouse, where bail was set at $75,000.
Authorities said officers were called in the early hours of Thursday after reports of a naked man walking along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City. When police arrived, Hill allegedly charged at them. During the struggle to restrain him, three officers were injured. He was later taken to a hospital for a possible overdose before being booked into custody, where he remained through the weekend.
