Shia LaBeouf returns to Mardi Gras after jail release

Shia LaBeouf returned to Mardi Gras celebrations immediately after his recent arrest, leaving jail by Tuesday morning after being charged with two counts of simple battery following a brawl. Shortly after his release he ripped off a wristband, told a paparazzo "leave me alone, bro" and broke into a jog.

Video shows him jogging away from the photographer and then walking about two miles back to the parade route. He changed into a new shirt and sunglasses he bought, was seen drinking beer and posed for photos with fans as he blended into the crowd. Earlier in the predawn hours he was involved in a physical altercation outside a New Orleans bar; footage shows him shirtless and rolling on the ground with one shoe on while several men held him down and another struck him.

Paramedics treated him after the incident, and it remains unclear what sparked the confrontation. He had reportedly been in New Orleans for Mardi Gras since Thursday.
