Overview
- Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office records show LaBeouf was booked Saturday on an extra misdemeanor simple battery charge, with his attorney saying he turned himself in after police issued a new warrant tied to an additional alleged victim.
- He now faces three simple battery counts stemming from the Royal Street incident, has not entered a plea, and is due in court for a pretrial hearing on March 19, with outlets reporting conflicting bond figures for the latest booking.
- Judge Simone Levine previously set bail at $100,000 and required drug and alcohol rehabilitation with weekly testing, citing concerns about danger to marginalized communities.
- Police reports and witness accounts allege he punched multiple people and used an anti‑gay slur during the Feb. 17 altercation, while at least one reported victim has asked prosecutors to consider a hate‑crime enhancement.
- Hours before the latest booking, a Channel 5 interview showed LaBeouf saying he "f***ed up," denying a drinking problem, attributing his behavior to a "small man" complex, and expressing fear of gay men.
