Shia LaBeouf Arrested Again in New Orleans After New Battery Charge in Mardi Gras Brawl

The new count follows a judge's order for treatment under a $100,000 bond after allegations he used homophobic slurs during the brawl.

Overview

  • Police and court records show a fresh simple battery charge tied to an additional reported victim from the Feb. 17 scuffle outside the Royal Street Inn & R Bar.
  • LaBeouf was taken into custody Saturday at the Orleans Justice Center on the new count, with a first appearance expected later in the day, according to local reports and inmate records.
  • Two days earlier, Judge Simone Levine set a $100,000 bond, ordered substance-use treatment and weekly drug testing, imposed stay‑away orders, and rejected a request to travel to Rome.
  • NOPD reports and videos describe LaBeouf striking multiple people, using homophobic slurs, and leaving one man with a possibly dislocated nose during Mardi Gras.
  • LaBeouf posted bond on the earlier counts and has not entered a plea, and the next court date on the original case is scheduled for March 19.
