Shia LaBeouf has been formally charged with one count of misdemeanor assault and one count of public intoxication. The charges stem from an incident that occurred during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The arrest happened on February 10, 2026, with the charges being filed this week, nearly three months later.
The actor was reportedly involved in a scuffle outside a bar. Details surrounding the altercation remain somewhat hazy. Sources close to the situation indicate the incident involved verbal altercations escalating into physical contact. LaBeouf's representatives have not yet issued a detailed statement on the recent charging decision.
This marks another legal entanglement for the actor, whose public life has often been under scrutiny. Previous incidents have included arrests in other cities for disorderly conduct. The legal process in New Orleans will now proceed, with LaBeouf expected to appear in court at a later date. The specifics of the charges, including the exact nature of the alleged assault, are detailed within the court documents.
