\n\tShia LaBeouf <\/a>was ordered to take a drug test on the spot and to return to rehab after the Holes actor was arrested earlier this month on two counts<\/a> of simple battery during Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 39-year-old avoided jail time by agreeing to seek treatment and bailing out on a $100,000 bond on Thursday. He also agreed to submit to weekly drug testing. LaBeouf was arrested after \u201ccausing a disturbance\u201d and getting increasingly \u201caggressive\u201d before he struck two people during a scuffle outside a bar near the French Quarter, according to law enforcement. A police report claimed LaBeouf shouted homophobic slurs at the people he was fighting with.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOrleans Parish Criminal Court Judge Simone Levine chastised a somber LaBeouf from the bench, according to the Associated Press<\/a>, saying he didn\u2019t seem like he was taking \u201chis alcohol addiction seriously\u201d and expressed doubt he could \u201chandle his alcohol.\u201d Levine further denied LaBeouf\u2019s request to travel to Rome in March for \u201creligious observations,\u201d which included his father\u2019s baptism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis court does not believe he understands the level of seriousness when it comes to these allegations,\u201d Levine said, adding that LaBeouf\u2019s actions were a cause of concern regarding \u201cthe safety of this larger community, especially relative to a marginalized [LBGTQ+] community that has gone through so much terror.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tLaBeouf has not been formally arraigned on the charges. Sarah Chervinsky, his local criminal defense attorney, pushed back on the judge\u2019s order of rehab and his $100,000 bond, saying it wasn\u2019t a crime to be drunk during Mardi Gras, according to local reports<\/a>. Chervinsky said her client\u2019s drug test on Thursday showed no evidence of illegal substances in his system. (Rolling Stone has reached out to Chervinsky for further comment.)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tOver Mardi Gras weekend, several videos posted to social media show a seemingly intoxicated LaBeouf partying on the streets of New Orleans, including the incident that landed him in jail. After his release, LaBeouf was seen drinking a beer and posing with fans while watching the rowdy festivities.<\/p>\n

\n\tMonths before LaBeouf\u2019s arrest, his increasingly erratic behavior sparked concern<\/a> on the set of his upcoming movie, The Rooster Prince, production sources for the film previously told Rolling Stone. \u201cHe was completely wild,\u201d says one production member who worked on the Oklahoma film set last November. \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019s stable. I don\u2019t know that he\u2019s been stable for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLaBeouf has been previously vocal about his purported sobriety, disclosing in 2020 that he was in therapy and a 12-step program after FKA Twigs accused him of physical, emotional, and mental abuse during their relationship. As recently as last March, he purported to be sober and credited actors like Mel Gibson and Sean Penn for rescuing him. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shia LaBeouf was ordered to take a drug test on the spot and to return to rehab after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":312391,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,85,46,16827,107425],"class_list":{"0":"post-312390","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-new-orleans","12":"tag-shia-labeouf"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=312390"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/312390\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/312391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=312390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=312390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=312390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
