Comic actor, Russell Brand who recently engaged himself into a fight with a photographer whom he thought was trying to take a pic to his fiancee Katy Perry, had to spend couple of hours in jail. Now, he is out on US,000 bail. Once out, Russell Brand joked on the happening and tweeted, "Thanks for your sweet messages of support. After the tips I picked up in chokey I'm an infinitely more proficient criminal."

Future however seem to have some other plans. Reportedly Russell Brand's arrest has prompted the U.S. immigration officials to investigate the matter - which could cause his visa to be revoked.

"A charge of battery could result in a conviction for an aggravated felony. Any kind of criminal conviction can lead to a visa being revoked. If a visa is revoked, the person will then be placed in deportation proceedings and this could lead to them being asked to leave the country and not return," said a source from US Citizen and Immigration Services.
