That was a terrifying last four days but your girl&#8217;s gonna be alright.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Authorities claim that the 26-year-old star charged at police after being confronted, leading to his arrest, and he was charged on Monday (25.08.25) with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/lil-nas-x\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,lil-nas-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lil Nas X<\/a> &#8211; whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill &#8211; pleaded not guilty in a court appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\nLA county&#8217;s district attorney Nathan J Hochman said in a statement relating to the case: &#8220;Attacking police officers is more than just a crime against those individuals but a direct threat to public safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHowever, Lil Nas X&#8217;s lawyer Christy O&#8217;Connor said the incident is an &#8220;absolute aberration&#8221; for the rapper.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe legal representative said: &#8220;Assuming the allegations here are true, this is an absolute aberration in this person&#8217;s life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe star&#8217;s father Robert Stafford described his son as &#8220;very remorseful&#8221; following the incident and insists that he will get the help he needs following the erratic behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>\nRobert said: &#8220;He\u2019s going to get the help that he needs and just keep him in your prayers.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Give him the same grace and mercy that God gives everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRobert added that his son is in &#8220;good spirits&#8221;, adding: &#8220;He\u2019s doing great mentally.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said about how they have had an emotional conversation: &#8220;We shed tears, we shed laughter, but he\u2019s in great spirits.
