Shia LaBeouf Pleads Guilty to Mardi Gras Battery, Sentenced to Probation
Shia LaBeouf has pleaded guilty to battery and disturbing the peace charges stemming from a Mardi Gras altercation where he was accused of fighting two men. The actor received one year of probation and must attend anger management classes.
Shia LaBeouf pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor battery on Wednesday, June 3rd, over his New Orleans arrest for a Mardi Gras fight. Per NOLA.com , Magistrate Judge Juana Lombard gave the actor two years of probation and a six-month suspended sentence.
“The police and DA investigation proved exactly what Shia Labeouf said from the beginning — that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle,” Labeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, said in a statement. “There is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low level misdemeanors… Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so.”
LaBeouf was arrested in mid-February after being accused of fighting with two men and hitting one of them “several times with closed fists.” He was also accused of using a derogatory slur for gay people multiple times.
