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.

00:14Okay, can I have a brief review of your copy or the people's copy of the police report?
00:19Sure, I'll get my name, may I?
00:20It was speedy preliminary hearing within 10 court days of today, 60 out of your days.
00:26If you understand and give up that right, your case could be set for premier.
00:47That's correct, Your Honor, but we just don't know whether that was actually factually accurate or just some officer's hunch that was uncorroborated.
00:54We don't know what happened.
00:55I'm assuming they drew blood or tested him, so at some point we'll find out, but right now there's nothing in the record that drugs were even a part of this.
01:02And so this is just an aberrant episode and an otherwise productive life.
01:10To call his life productive, I think, would be an understatement.
01:13I think it's a remarkable life.
01:16We're going to set bail at $75,000, and if he makes that bail, he's ordered to not clone user-possessing illegal narcotics, attend four NA meetings per week, or enroll in an outpatient drug program.
01:37So, Mr. Hill, do you understand and accept those conditions?
01:41Yes.
01:43He's very remorseful for what happened, but it can happen to any family.
01:51You know, he's going to get the help that he needs, and just keep them in your prayers.
01:56You know, give them the same grace and mercy that God give everyone.
01:58Sir, what kind of help?
02:00Don't forget, he's 26 years old, so it's not unusual for something like this to happen, particularly when you have the pressure of being recognized internationally like him.
02:12And so we're going to do our best to address these things, and the best way to do this is to be able to address these things.
02:18And the best way to do this is to be able to address these things.
02:22And so we're going to do our best to address these things.
02:26And so we're going to do our best to address these things, and the best way to do that is just get the team and surround him with a team of people.
02:34You can see how much his dad cares and his family cares, and we're just getting this, like, outpouring of love and support for him.
02:41It's really unbelievable.
02:43Anything you want to say?
02:46Can you say his father's name one more time for us?
02:49I can't really spell it out, but we'll get it to you.
02:52Yeah, so I think for the fans that love him and adore him, is his dad said pray for him, pray for him, think about him, root for him, cheer him on, and don't forget all the success that he had.
03:04And just don't judge somebody by the worst moment in their life.
03:22I'm not sure if he's the guy with him.
03:23I don't believe he's the main character.
03:24I'm not sure if he's the only one got to judge somebody by the best as a kid as a kid.
03:27I'm not sure if the best.
03:29Thanks very much for it.
03:31Thanks for being a little one.
03:34I'll see you in 100s.
03:38Ng.
03:39I'm not sure that you have time for the чтобы-back to be in this project.
03:40Good girl.
03:42You're not sure how many new people are around here.
