LaBeouf Faces Third Battery Charge in NOLA
28 Feb
Summary
- Shia LaBeouf now faces a third battery count in New Orleans.
- A judge denied LaBeouf's request to travel for religious observations.
- Production sources describe LaBeouf's behavior as erratic and wild.
Shia LaBeouf is now subject to a third arrest warrant for simple battery in New Orleans. This charge relates to an additional victim during a scuffle outside the R Bar on Mardi Gras weekend.
Earlier this week, a New Orleans judge expressed significant concern about LaBeouf's alcohol addiction. The judge denied his request to travel to Rome for religious observations, citing doubts about his ability to handle alcohol and the seriousness of the allegations.
LaBeouf was initially arrested on February 17 for alleged disturbances and aggression, leading to him striking two individuals. Despite avoiding jail time by agreeing to seek treatment and posting a $100,000 bond, his erratic behavior has also drawn attention from the set of his upcoming film.
Production sources described LaBeouf's conduct on the Oklahoma film set last November as "completely wild" and unstable. LaBeouf has previously spoken about his sobriety journey, disclosing in 2020 that he was in therapy and a 12-step program.
