Los Angeles, CA — Grammy-winning rapper Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Hill, was arrested and booked into Los Angeles County jail Thursday morning following an incident that has drawn significant public attention.
Details of the Incident
According to a booking report reviewed by Entertainment Weekly , Lil Nas X was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly assaulting a police officer. He was booked at 11:22 a.m. local time after being initially arrested at 6:10 a.m.

Multiple witnesses alerted authorities after spotting the artist, prompting the Los Angeles Police Department to respond to the 11000 block of Ventura Boulevard around 5:50 a.m.
A spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed that officers arrived at the scene to find a nude man walking in the street. “Upon arrival, the suspect charged at officers and was taken into custody,” the spokesperson stated.
