Russell Brand is now reportedly wanted by police after he threw a photographer's phone through a window.
The New Orleans police have told website TMZ they issued a misdemeanor warrant for the 36-year-old's arrest on Wednesday night.
The comedian has been accused of snatching a paparazzo's mobile phone and angrily hurling it through a pane of glass in New Orleans on Monday night.
Russell has since offered a bizarre defence for allegedly throwing the iPhone through the window - saying he was honouring Steve Jobs.
In an apparent confession, he claims his apparent fit of temper was because he believed the way the photographer was using his smartphone dishonoured the memory of the recently deceased Apple CEO.
He said: 'Since Steve Jobs died I cannot bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory.'
Brand was reported by photographer Timothy Jackson, who is accusing the Get Him To The Greek star of criminal damages.
He told officers he was with a group of other photographers, and had began to take pictures of the star with his iPhone from his car.
He claims the angry funnyman lost his temper, grabbed the phone from of his hand, and threw it through the window of a local law firm.
