The Artist Begins Rehab After Altercation Involving Law Enforcement
Grammy-winning musician Lil Nas X is now undergoing intensive treatment, according to his attorneys this week. This update follows following his detainment last month over various charges involving physical confrontation plus resisting police.
Court Hearing Discloses Treatment Plan
At a legal session recently, Hill’s legal representatives told the judge that their client was receiving treatment out of California. The judge according to sources allowed the defendant to continue out of state provided that he remains in care.
“We’re addressing those issues” while “he will move past this obstacle”, stated his legal team.
Background of the Altercation
The arrest occurred in August 21 after the artist was reportedly walking down a Los Angeles street partially clothed before allegedly charging at law enforcement that had stopped him.
Montero has pleaded not guilty to multiple accusations of battery on officers and one criminal count of resisting an executive officer.
Career Highlights
Lil Nas X originally climbed to stardom in 2018 due to his historic single “his breakout song,” which dominated Billboard for nearly five months. Hill subsequently won several Grammy Awards.
Legal Risks
In the event of a conviction, the artist might face as much as 60 months in prison.
After the incident, Hill shared a message on social media stating, “That was terrifying, but “things will get better”.
Legal representative Drew Findling added that Hill is “backed by a strong personal network” and circle that looks after his welfare.
