Prosecutors said the musician, whose legal name is Montero Lamar Hill, charged at them when they approached him following reports of a nude man in the area.
He faces “three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one felony count of resisting an executive officer,” The Guardian noted.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday.

The Associated Press provided further info:
It’s not immediately clear whether he had posted it and been released yet. A message to his attorney, Christy O’Connor, was not immediately answered.
But O’Connor told a judge Lil Nas X has led a “remarkable” life that has included winning two Grammy awards.
“Assuming the allegations here are true, this is an absolute aberration in this person’s life,” O’Connor said in court, according to NBC. “Nothing like this has ever happened to him.”
The charges were first reported by TMZ.
Hill is set to return to court on Sept. 15 for his next pre-trial hearing.
The rapper and singer from Atlanta is best known for 2018’s country and hip-hop merging “Old Town Road,” which spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and won him his Grammys.
