Update
Kanye West: Free at Last
Kanye West has left the building. And the state.
Shortly before 1 p.m., about four hours after his candid-camera airport bust, the hip-hop star was released from police custody on $20,000 bail and immediately headed for parts unknown.
Shielded by umbrellas, the 31-year-old Grammy winner and his road manager, Don Crowley, were ushered into a back Chevy Suburban (with the license plate "DIVA") and spirited away to Van Nuys Airport. The SUV drove onto the runway and into a hangar to avoid being followed by the press.
No word on the duo's final destination, but they had been due to board an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Honolulu when the camera-smashing incident went down.
There has been no comment yet from West's camp.
West and Crowley were booked with felony vandalism after smashing a TMZ shooter's video camera at LAX in a scene an eyewitness described to E! News as "pure chaos."
Pending an investigation, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office will decide whether to charge the men. For now, West is tentatively due in court Oct. 2.
Here's hoping his legal docket doesn't keep him from further travel plans. West is due to embark on a tour of the U.K. on Nov. 8.
