Shia LaBeouf Taken Into Custody in New Orleans on New Battery Charge

The new booking follows a warrant tied to another alleged victim from the Feb. 17 Mardi Gras brawl.

Overview

  • Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records show LaBeouf was booked Saturday on an additional misdemeanor count of simple battery.
  • His attorney says he voluntarily surrendered after learning police issued a new arrest warrant connected to the Royal Street incident.
  • LaBeouf now faces three simple battery charges related to the Mardi Gras altercation, with a pretrial hearing set for March 19.
  • A judge previously set a $100,000 bond, ordered drug testing, and required enrollment in substance-use treatment as the case proceeds.
  • Police reports and video allege he struck multiple people and used homophobic slurs, and an alleged victim has asked prosecutors to consider a hate-crime enhancement.
