Shia LaBeouf's Mardi Gras Chaos: Hollywood Star Arrested in Assault Incident
Actor Shia LaBeouf has been arrested in New Orleans during Mardi Gras for allegedly assaulting two men. Known for past legal issues, LaBeouf is facing charges of simple battery after causing a disturbance and attacking individuals in a Royal Street business. He was briefly hospitalized and later released.
Shia LaBeouf, the well-known 'Transformers' star, was taken into custody in New Orleans shortly after midnight on Tuesday. The arrest occurred during the city's festive Mardi Gras celebrations, with police accusing the 39-year-old actor of assaulting two individuals in a Royal Street business.
