Shia LaBeouf Arrested in New Orleans on Two Simple Battery Charges During Mardi Gras

He was released on his own recognizance later Tuesday with a preliminary court date set for March 19.

Overview

  • Police say the incident unfolded shortly after 12:45 a.m. outside the Royal Street Inn and Bar after LaBeouf was removed for aggressive behavior.
  • According to NOPD, he punched a man multiple times, left and returned more aggressive, then struck the same victim again and another man in the nose before being restrained.
  • Paramedics treated him at the scene and he was taken to a hospital; TMZ video shows him shirtless receiving aid and sitting in an ambulance.
  • Court records list two counts of simple battery tied to the French Quarter altercation, and his representatives have not commented.
  • Bar staff told The Hollywood Reporter he spent days on a Mardi Gras bar crawl and appeared inebriated, context to past arrests and a 2025 civil settlement with FKA twigs.
