A celebrity photographer was arrested on suspicion of trespassing on Thursday after he was found hiding in the bushes outside the school where actors Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie send their 4-year-old son, police said.

Clint Brewer, 25, was detained by a private security officer for Pitt and Jolie about 10:30 a.m. local time and jailed briefly by Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies before being released on $1,000 bail.

"He was seen hiding in the bushes at about the time parents tend to drop off their kids, trying to get a shot of (Pitt and Jolie)," a sheriff's spokesman said.

He said it was not clear whether the Hollywood couple or their adopted son, Maddox, who attends the school, were present at the time of the arrest, and the spokesman did not know if Brewer was employed by a photo agency.

Brewer will be ordered to appear in court to face the trespassing charge, the spokesman said, a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of one year in the county jail.

Pitt, 42, and Jolie, 30, have been at the center of a tabloid frenzy since the birth of their daughter, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, in the southern African nation of Namibia late last month.

They also have a daughter, Zahara, an Ethiopian native who is about 16 months old, part of a blended celebrity clan labeled "the World's Most Beautiful Family" by People magazine. Maddox was adopted from Cambodia.
