Lil Nas X’s charges to be dropped if he complies with the treatment plan?
Rolling Stone reported that Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, attended a hearing for his case in a Los Angeles courtroom. During the hearing, Judge Alan Schneider cited that the rapper’s behavior at the time of the arrest last year was “aberrant from his normal conduct.”He cited that charges against Lil Nas X can soon be dismissed, as long as he attends the sessions and mental health treatment plans that have been created for him. It also appears the rapper has been doing much better since the recording last year. Hill had further requested a treatment plan, which the judge signed off on yesterday. After the hearing, Nas X had also said to the media house that “I’m thankful. Just very thankful. It could have been much worse.”During his arraignment for the case last year, he pleaded not guilty to four of the felony charges. If convicted, he would have faced around 5 years in prison.
What happened with Lil Nas X last year?
Montero was found in the middle of the night on Ventura Boulevard in a possibly inebriated state. He was found to be walking in the area wearing nothing but his innerwear and a pair of cowboy boots.
