Shia LaBeouf has pleaded guilty to three counts of simple battery following an incident during Mardi Gras in New Orleans earlier this year.

The Transformers and Even Stevens actor was arrested in February after authorities said he became involved in a physical altercation outside a Royal Street business in the French Quarter. Reports at the time also alleged he used offensive slurs during the incident.

According to Nola, LaBeouf has now been handed a six-month suspended sentence along with two years of probation.

“The police and DA investigation proved exactly what Shia LaBeouf said from the beginning — that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle,” LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, said in a statement. 

He added, “There 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. Now he’s looking forward to focusing on family, work, and new creative projects.”

Police previously reported that LaBeouf was “causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive” before the confrontation escalated. 

Officers added, “Once removed from the building, the victim reported being struck by LaBeouf, who used his closed fists on the victim several times.”

Following his arrest, the actor posted bail, received treatment for his injuries, and later returned to the area to continue participating in Mardi Gras celebrations.
