Actor Jeff Garlin (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”) was released from a Van Nuys jail yesterday, at approximately 7:30 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) website.

An incident that sounds like it’s straight out of “Curb,” Garlin–who has also appeared on television show “Arrested Development” and co-starred with comedienne Sarah Silverman in the film “I Want Someone to East Cheese With”–apparently became too heated during an argument over a parking space at CVS drugstore in Studio City, Variety reported.

The 51-year-old comedian-actor was arrested on Saturday, June 15, by Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood division, according to the LASD.

Garlin will be “interviewed by city prosecutors, but he will not appear in court on the matter,” according to studiocity.patch.com.

He posted $20,000 in bail, according to LASD.
