The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Bill Cosby’s sexual assault conviction on June 30, leading to his release from a Pennsylvania state prison just hours later.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections confirmed that Cosby was released at around 2:30 p.m., according to a Twitter post from the department. Reporters on the scene said they saw the actor and comedian leave the facility, and that he was driven away in a white vehicle shortly afterward.
