Summary
LaBeouf pleaded guilty in June to misdemeanor battery after New Orleans police accused him of attacking three men during Mardi Gras and shouting homophobic slurs.
The sentence gives the 40-year-old actor two years’ probation and requires alcohol rehab; failure to complete treatment could send him to prison in New Orleans for six months.
The case marked LaBeouf’s fifth known arrest, extending a long record of disruptive behavior that has repeatedly spilled into public and professional settings.
Scott Eastwood, speaking on Dax Shepard’s podcast, said LaBeouf was a volatile co-star on 2014’s Fury, describing a confrontation that Brad Pitt had to break up.
