Shia LaBeouf was just arrested again in New Orleans.
The Nymphomaniac actor, who was released from jail on Feb. 17 following a brawl outside the Royal Street Inn & R Bar near the French Quarter, was taken in for an additional misdemeanor count of simple battery, The Associated Press reported today. The arrest, per a statement from his attorney, is in connection with the Mardi Gras fight.
“No regular person would be required to post over $100,000 in bonds, and be jailed two separate times for one misdemeanor incident,” LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, said. “Just as he does not deserve preferential treatment, Mr. LaBeouf also does not deserve to be treated more harshly by the police and courts just because he is a public figure.”
Per the news outlet, LaBeouf, 39, turned himself in to Orleans Parish PD today after learning of the arrest warrant Friday.
With the initial arrest, LaBeouf received two battery charges after fighting with a group of people shirtless. He was released shortly after, posting a $100,000 bond and agreeing to substance abuse treatment and drug testing.
Since then, LaBeouf has spoken out about the night. Discussing the incident with Andrew Callaghan on Channel 5, he said, “I got some contrition on my heart, you know what I mean? It’s not nice to hurt people ever. It’s on me, it’s not on them.”
He also addressed the homophobic slurs he dropped during the altercation, saying, “I’m a Catholic. … Truth is, I said words not OK to say. I don’t want to hurt nobody’s feelings.”
The double arrest follows news about the actor’s personal life emerging. Around the same time as the brawl in NOLA, , Page Six revealed that LaBeouf and his wife of nine years, Mia Goth, had split quietly last year, with LaBeouf moving to NOLA to be closer to family.
