McDonald walked out of a Santa Clara County jail in San Jose on Monday afternoon, pushing past television cameras and reporters as he got into a taxi.

His departure came several hours after his morning arrest on suspicion of the assault on a woman who was holding a baby.

Later in the day the Chicago Bears released the defensive end because of the arrest that followed a pattern of similar incidents.

Phone calls to McDonald’s agent Tom Condon weren’t immediately returned.

Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke reports that McDonald was arrested at 7 a.m. Monday on suspicion of domestic violence and child endangerment.

It was not immediately known if the woman or the baby were injured.

Bears General Manager Ryan Pace released a statement saying McDonald did not meet the expectations set out for him when he was signed.

His agent Tom Condon did not return calls for comment.

In December, the 49ers released McDonald.

Last year, McDonald was accused in a separate domestic violence incident during August birthday party at his Northern California home. A different woman has also accused McDonald of rape. Charges have not been filed.
