Shia LaBeouf faces new legal troubles after another arrest in New Orleans. The actor was taken into custody Saturday on a battery charge, possibly linked to his earlier Mardi Gras brawl. This comes amid ongoing fallout from the February 17 incident involving homophobic slurs and physical altercations.
Shia LaBeouf entered a guilty plea on June 3, 2026, to misdemeanor battery charges tied to a February Mardi Gras bar clash. The 39-year-old actor received two years of probation plus rehab mandates. Court wrapped the saga that began with an alleged punch-up at R Bar.

This year's Carnival season produced a record 1,363 tons of waste along New Orleans parade routes, a 24 percent increase from last year. The total equals the weight of more than 1 million king cakes. City officials and environmental groups point to larger crowds and abandoned items as key factors.
