Judge Orders Shia LaBeouf to Drug Tests Over Slur
26 Feb
Summary
- Shia LaBeouf faced a judge for his recent New Orleans arrest.
- The actor allegedly used a homophobic slur during the incident.
- Judge mandated weekly drug tests and addiction treatment.
In a court appearance on Thursday, a judge criticized Shia LaBeouf for allegedly using homophobic slurs during his recent arrest in New Orleans. The judge determined that LaBeouf was not taking his addiction seriously and stated that his use of such language posed a threat to a community that has already endured significant hardship.
LaBeouf faces two counts of simple battery following an alleged altercation with a bar worker that led to a street fight and his subsequent arrest last week. The court ordered LaBeouf to submit to a drug test, the results of which revealed a substance other than ethanol in his system, though the specific substance was not disclosed, citing privacy concerns.
This finding influenced the judge's bail decision. LaBeouf's bail was set at $100,000, contingent upon his commitment to drug and alcohol treatment and participation in weekly drug testing upon his release.
