Charges against Lil Nas X
According to the media outlet, the Old Town Road singer faces four felonies after the naked incident in LA. He faces three charges of battery with injury on a police officer, while the fourth charge is for resisting an executive order.
Lil Nas X was held without jail over the weekend and appeared before a judge on Monday morning. Footage from before the day he was arrested by the police as he wandered the streets of LA showed him behaving erratically outside a West Hollywood hotel.
On Thursday morning, when police arrested the rapper, they believed he had overdosed and thus they first took him to the hospital and then transferred him to jail.

A witness claimed that they heard Lil Nas X talking about a party when they crossed him on Thursday morning.
