Shia LaBeouf pleads guilty to simple battery for punching bargoers during Mardi Gras
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Actor Shia LaBeouf pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of simple battery for punching people outside a New Orleans bar in February during Mardi Gras.
Sentencing details were not immediately available in online court records. An attorney for LaBeouf did not immediately respond to an email and phone call seeking comment.
Video of the Feb. 17 encounter shows a shirtless LaBeouf shoving one person to the ground and hitting another person in the face, “causing his nose to possibly dislocate,” according to a New Orleans police report.
