Shia LaBeouf's issues with disorderly conduct, addiction and more
The actor has had a history of addiction and mental health struggles. On June 26, 2014, LaBeouf was arrested at New York City's Studio 54 theatre and subsequently charged with disorderly conduct, harassment, and criminal trespass. Following the incident, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, while the trespassing and harassment charges were dropped.
In another incident in 2017, LaBeouf was reportedly arrested for public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and obstruction. He later attributed the incident to his alcohol addiction. He was sentenced to probation for one year, including time served, and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine as well as seek therapy to manage his anger and substance use issues. Again in 2020, LaBeouf was criminally charged with misdemeanour battery and petty theft for his involvement in an altercation with a man in June of that year. He pleaded not guilty. A judge ordered LaBeouf into a diversion programme in May 2021.
