According to Pitchfork.com, Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Hill, will have his felony battery charges dismissed as long as he complies with mandated treatment plan, reports Rolling Stone’s Nancy Dillon. The treatment includes two years in a mental-health diversion program. Judge Alan Schneider said the court’s decision for potential dismissal stemmed from the artist’s previous diagnosis of bipolar disorder.
Then, Judge Schneider added that the dismissal is also contingent on Hill obeying all laws for the next two years. Back in August 2025, Hill was arrested after allegedly charging at police officers in Los Angeles. He later told the judge that is not guilty to three alleged counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of allegedly resisting an executive officer. The artist faced up to five years in prison if convicted.
Per Rolling Stone, Hill’s attorney noted that their client voluntarily checked himself into a treatment center following his arrest and is now undergoing weekly sessions with a psychotherapist along with appointments with a psychiatrist every three months.
