- On Feb. 17, Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans during Mardi Gras and faces two counts of simple battery with a magistrate court appearance Tuesday afternoon.
- According to reports, LaBeouf had been in town since Thursday for Mardi Gras on a nearly week-long bar crawl, appearing shirtless, `inebriated` and trying to act as a `celebrity bartender` at French Quarter bars.
- Police were called around 12:45 a.m. after a staff member tried to eject LaBeouf from a Royal Street business; he allegedly struck one victim several times, returned aggressively, hit another in the nose, and was held until police arrived, while paramedics treated him before hospital transfer.
