Shia LaBeouf arrested in New Orleans after Mardi Gras bar altercation

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans after a brawl during Mardi Gras and has been charged with two counts of simple battery. He remains behind bars in Louisiana, held without bond, and is due before a judge today at 3 p.m. local time. Bar employees said the actor had been spending the weekend partying and was reportedly shirtless and somewhat belligerent when he approached one establishment.

Footage shows paramedics treating him after the alleged altercation, and it remains unclear what led to the scuffle. Staff described him doing a "do you know who I am?" bit after being denied entry, then covering up and paying with a card, only to be asked to leave after attempting to "be a celebrity bartender." Another employee said he was "terrorizing the city," and he had been seen at multiple venues while reportedly staying in a luxury Airbnb.
