Shia was accused of repeatedly punching a man<\/a> outside the establishment before returning and allegedly becoming even more aggressive.<\/p>\nSeveral people reportedly attempted to restrain him. After being allowed to get up in the hope that he would leave, LaBeouf allegedly struck the same man again before punching another man in the nose.<\/p>\n
The actor ultimately pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to two years of probation in June.<\/p>\n
\nAt the time, LaBeouf\u2019s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, attempted to downplay the incident, calling it a \u201cminor Mardi Gras bar tussle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe police and District Attorney\u2019s investigation proved exactly what Shia LaBeouf said from the beginning \u2014 that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle,\u201d Chervinsky said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low level misdemeanors. Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, however, LaBeouf has another reason to take his probation seriously.<\/p>\n
His next hearing is scheduled for September 23, although he reportedly won\u2019t be there because he\u2019ll be filming a movie.<\/p>\n
And there\u2019s a pretty serious consequence hanging over his head if he fails to complete his probation: six months behind bars.<\/p>\n
For now, LaBeouf appears to be balancing court-ordered treatment with a daily drinking habit \u2014 a combination that could make his road out of legal trouble considerably more complicated.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
