Ben Affleck was seen talking animatedly to officers from his car on Tuesday, just two days after The FBI came his residence in Brentwood.

Officers spoke with Affleck about his neighbor who had hired private security that was allegedly preventing people from returning to their homes, including Affleck, a source told Fox News Digital, adding that he told police that private security could not do that.

The source added that the police are in his area because he is outside the mandatory evacuation zone for Palisades Fire. Affleck, who spoke to officers in a police vehicle from his car, was seen leaning out the driver’s side window and gesticulating at several points during the conversation before finally driving away.

FBI agents were also seen outside his property on Sunday, but Affleck was not in trouble, the agency said.
