was charged Monday with four felonies after police say he charged at | |
them when they confronted him for walking naked down a Los Angeles | |
street last week. | |
Prosecutors charged the musician, whose legal name is Montero Lamar | |
Hill, with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and | |
one felony count of resisting an executive officer, the District | |
Attorney’s Office said. He was initially booked on suspicion of | |
misdemeanor obstructing an officer on Friday. | |
He is set to be arraigned later Monday. His representatives have not | |
responded to requests for comment. | |
Police said officers found the 26-year-old walking naked on Ventura | |
Boulevard, a major thoroughfare in the Studio City neighborhood, | |
shortly before 6 a.m. Friday, | |
They say he charged at the officers when confronted and was arrested. | |
Police, suspecting a possible overdose, took him to a hospital where he | |
spent several hours before being taken to jail, where he has remained | |
since. | |
The charges were first reported by TMZ. | |
The rapper and singer from Atlanta is best known for his huge hit from | |
2018, “Old Town Road,” which merged country and hip-hop. It spent a | |
record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. | |
Known for his genre-bending, innovating sounds and style, his first | |
full studio album, 2021’s “Montero,” went to No. 2 on the | |
Billboard album chart and was nominated for a Grammy for album of the | |
year. | |
