Jussie Smollett walks behind a bodyguard while leaving a courthouse on Thursday afternoon (February 21) in Chicago, Ill.

The 36-year-old actor and singer was released from jail on a $100,000 bond after he was arrested for filing a false police report. See his mug shot photo here.

Jussie was surrounded by a security team while leaving the court and he was swarmed by the media en route to his car. You can see the whole scene unfold in the video here.

After leaving court, he reportedly went right to the Empire set.
