Shia LaBeouf Arrested on Battery Charges During Mardi Gras in New Orleans

Shia LaBeouf is facing legal trouble. 

The Holes actor was arrested in New Orleans amid the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations Feb. 17, according to online jail records viewed by E! News. 

LaBeouf, 39, was arrested on charges of simple battery, which is categorized as a misdemeanor offense. 

E! News has reached out to reps for LaBeouf regarding his arrest. 

The New Orleans Police Department confirmed that the Disney alum was taken into custody just after 12 a.m. local time after two victims were “reportedly assaulted.”

“A man identified as 39-year-old Shia LaBeouf was reportedly causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a Royal Street business,” authorities said in a statement to E! News. “A staff member attempted to eject Mr. LaBeouf from the establishment. Once removed from the building, the victim reported being struck by LaBeouf who used his closed fists on the victim several times.”

Police noted that one of the victims said LaBeouf then left the scene before returning again “acting even more aggressive.”
