"Grammy winner Lil Nas X returned to a Los Angeles courthouse Thursday seeking a different route to the end of his police battery case. The 26-year-old "Old Town Road" and "Industry Baby" singer (real name Montero Hill) appeared in front of a Los Angeles County judge as his attorney, Christy O'Connor, expressed her intentions to file a motion for diversion, Rolling Stone reported."
"Lil Nas X was hospitalized and arrested in August after he was seen strolling in only his underwear and white boots through Studio City. The singer received treatment at a nearby hospital for a possible overdose, but had also been accused of assaulting a police officer. He was charged with four felony counts - three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer."
"Lil Nas X, who pleaded not guilty to all counts last year, shared a message to fans upon his latest court appearance. "I really love and I miss you and I appreciate your support so much," he told media outside the courthouse, according to video shared by Rolling Stone's Nancy Dill."
Lil Nas X appeared before a Los Angeles County judge Thursday in connection with his police battery case. His attorney, Christy O'Connor, filed a motion for diversion to transfer the case to a diversion program that could prevent jail time. The Grammy-winning artist was arrested in August following an incident in Studio City where he was seen in underwear and white boots. He was hospitalized for a possible overdose and subsequently charged with four felony counts: three counts of battery with injury on police officers and one count of resisting an executive officer. Police alleged he assaulted officers attempting to take him into custody, with at least three officers injured. Lil Nas X pleaded not guilty to all charges and expressed gratitude to fans for their support.
