Overview
- Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records show LaBeouf was taken into custody Saturday and charged with one more misdemeanor count of simple battery.
- His attorney said he voluntarily surrendered after learning of a new arrest warrant and that the fresh charge is connected to the Feb. 17 altercation outside the Royal Street Inn & R Bar.
- He posted a $5,000 bond on the new booking and was released; days earlier, Judge Simone Levine set a $100,000 bond in the case and ordered drug testing and substance‑use treatment.
- In a Channel 5 interview released hours before the arrest, LaBeouf accepted blame, denied having a drinking problem, described a “small man” complex, and made remarks about gay people that echoed allegations in police reports.
- LaBeouf now faces three misdemeanor battery counts with a pretrial hearing set for March 19, and at least one alleged victim has urged prosecutors to seek a hate‑crime enhancement that has not been filed.
