Shia LaBeouf admits daily drinking during probation

Actor Shia LaBeouf has disclosed that he continues to drink alcohol daily while serving a two-year probation sentence stemming from a physical altercation during Mardi Gras in New Orleans earlier this year. Court documents obtained as part of his criminal case reveal the admission, which comes months after he pleaded guilty to three counts of misdemeanor battery. The incident occurred in the predawn hours of February 17, 2026, in the city's French Quarter. LaBeouf was arrested after an altercation outside a bar, where he was accused of punching two men and headbutting a third. According to a police report, video of the encounter showed a shirtless LaBeouf shoving one person and hitting another in the face. One alleged victim stated LaBeouf had pushed him earlier in the night while shouting homophobic slurs. LaBeouf was treated at a hospital for unspecified injuries before being booked into Orleans Parish Prison. He pleaded guilty to the battery charges in June and was sentenced to two years of probation.
