A Jacksonville teenager recently booked on new charges after being accused of beating multiple people with a baseball bat during a brawl has been released from jail.
According to the Jacksonville jail log, Jontaianna Pitts, 18, was released from jail Saturday after posting a surety bond.
Pitts was booked at the Duval County Jail Thursday. A judge had set her bail at $180,000.
Pitts was initially arrested May 20 on aggravated battery, felony battery on a security guard and criminal mischief charges after videos of two brawls in Jacksonville went viral.

The state attorney's office filed a motion June 20 for Pitts' bail to be increased on previous charges and set on new charges, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
The state attorney said Pitts' bail should be increased to ensure she appears in court and to protect the community from her.
The charges against Pitts that were added Thursday are two counts of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief charges.
The judge ordered Pitts to obey a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and have no contact with the brawl victims, witnesses or co-defendants.
A pretrial hearing is set for July 20 at 9 a.m.
