Judge Orders Shia LaBeouf To Rehab After Mardi Gras Brawl - Above the Law

"According to the New Orleans Police Department, LaBeouf was arrested just after midnight on Mardi Gras morning. Investigators say he was reportedly causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a Royal Street business. A staff member attempted to remove LaBeouf from the business. Once removed from the building, the NOPD says the victim told police LaBeouf punched him several times."

"AP News additionally reported that LeBeouf was heard yelling homophobic slurs. Jeffrey Klein, a man who claims he was attacked by LeBeouf during the brawl, was wearing makeup at the time. While he was charged with two counts of simple battery, there was no mention of being charged with a hate crime."

"This isn't the first time that LeBeouf has been charged along the lines of being drunk in public. He joked about it ages ago on Jimmy Kimmel, but getting arrested for the same shit you were doing over a decade ago is no laughing matter. Judge Simone Levine ordered him to go to rehabilitation."
