According to LAPD Officer Jack Richter, Bilzerian had been arrested on a fugitive warrant out of Nevada.
He had faced felony charges in the state, including possessing or manufacturing explosive or incendiary devices, according to a criminal complaint filed in Las Vegas on Nov. 13.
Charges in that case were not dropped, Clark County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Audrie Locke said in an email to KTLA after Bilzerian’s released from custody in L.A. Locke said she had no information on why Bilzerian was released.
On Nov. 4, Bilzerian illegally possessed “ammonium and/or cooler and/or aluminum powder” and “ammonium nitrate mix,” according to the criminal complaint.
Bilzerian was charged along with Jeremy David Guymon in the case. Both were expected to appear in Las Vegas Justice Court on Jan. 9 for their arraignment, Locke said.
An attorney for Bilzerian, David Chesnoff, was able to get the arrest warrant recalled through the Nevada state courts system, according to the Los Angeles Times. Police could no longer keep Belzerian behind bars because he does not face charges in California, Chesnoff told the Times.
Shortly after his release Wednesday afternoon, Bilzerian was seen walking into his Hollywood Hills home by a KTLA reporter. Bilzerian said he had no comment.
He later posted the following on Twitter.
