Hollywood Star Arrested After Mardi Gras Rampage

This isn’t the actor’s first run-in with the law.

Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested at Mardi Gras after a physical confrontation with other attendees. The star was kicked out of a New Orleans bar, after which he proceeded to get into a fight in front of the venue. Video captured at the scene after the altercation shows a shirtless LaBeouf arguing with an unknown man in a leather jacket. Paramedics were called to the scene to treat LaBeouf’s injuries, and he was then taken away by ambulance. The Transformers actor wasn’t arrested on the scene, but was later charged with two counts of simple battery, according to records analyzed by TMZ. The embattled former child actor has been open about his struggles with sobriety and has been arrested previously for similar behavior. In 2017, he was charged with public intoxication and disorderly conduct. LaBeouf also recently settled an assault case with his ex-girlfriend, singer FKA Twigs, in which she alleged he sexually and physically abused her. While the charges were dropped, LaBeouf said about FKA Twigs, “I hurt that woman, and in the process of doing that, I hurt many other people, and many other people before that woman.”
