Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested again in New Orleans on March 18 on an additional misdemeanor simple battery charge related to a February bar fight where he assaulted several people and shouted anti-gay slurs, according to the Associated Press. LaBeouf, known for his roles in Transformers and other films, was previously booked and posted bail following the February 17 incident at a Royal Street business outside the French Quarter. According to city police reports, the actor was 'causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive' before attacking patrons. The new charge brings the total to three against the actor, with his next hearing scheduled for March 19. LaBeouf's attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, confirmed that the actor voluntarily turned himself in to the Orleans Parish Prison upon learning of the new arrest warrant. The incident follows a pattern of concerning behavior from the actor, who has recently been reflecting on what he described as 'dirty, ugly, disgusting' conduct.
