- Lil Nas X was cleared to enter a court-run mental-health diversion program, which replaces prosecution with treatment.
- Under the program, the charges can be dropped if he follows all conditions for two years.
- Prosecutors say he injured at least three officers during his August arrest and charged him with assault and resisting an officer.
- A conviction at trial could have brought up to five years in prison, according to the prosecutor’s office.
- His attorney says he sought care at a therapy clinic after the arrest and began voluntary, extended treatment as videos of the incident spread widely.
