Shia LaBeouf is now facing three misdemeanor charges tied to an alleged confrontation during Mardi Gras.
Court records show the Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office charged the Honey Boy actor with three counts of simple battery following an alleged February 17 incident outside a bar in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
LaBeouf, 39, was first arrested after the alleged encounter and booked on two counts of simple battery. He was arrested again on Feb. 28, when an additional simple battery count was added.
Shia LaBeouf says he doesn’t have a “drinking problem” following his Mardi Gras arrests.

According to a New Orleans Police Department report, authorities alleged LaBeouf was kicked out of a bar after causing a disturbance. Police claimed he struck one person, left the area, then came back and allegedly struck that person again before assaulting a second individual.
One alleged victim previously revealed that he helped restrain LaBeouf until officers arrived, claiming the actor was “screaming at everybody” and “lunging at” people. LaBeouf was taken to a hospital for unknown injuries before being arrested after his release, according to the police report.
Following his release from custody, LaBeouf posted “Free me,” on X. He remains out on bond under court-ordered release conditions.
He denies having a drinking problem.
