For
millions
of
people,
Mardi
Gras
is
their
last
hurrah
before
they
get
all
pious
on
Ash
Wednesday.
So
they
let
loose!
Alcohol,
calorie-rich
foods,
and
all
sorts
of
levity
make
up
for
obligatorily
giving
up
McDonald’s
or
whatever
for
the
next
40
days.
But
sometimes
people
let
a
little
too
much
loose
in
the
celebration.
One
of
those
people
was
Shia
Lebeouf.
WDSU
has
coverage:
According
to
the
New
Orleans
Police
Department,
LaBeouf
was
arrested
just
after
midnight
on
Mardi
Gras
morning.Investigators
say
he
was
reportedly
causing
a
disturbance
and
becoming
increasingly
aggressive
at
a
Royal
Street
business.A
staff
member
attempted
to
remove
LaBeouf
from
the
business.Once
removed
from
the
building,
the
NOPD
says
the
victim
told
police
LaBeouf
punched
him
several
times.
Detectives
say
LaBeouf
then
reportedly
assaulted
another
person,
punching
him
in
the
nose.
AP
News
additionally
reported
that
LeBeouf
was
heard
yelling
homophobic
slurs.
Jeffrey
Klein,
a
man
who
claims
he
was
attacked
by
LeBeouf
during
the
brawl,
was
wearing
makeup
at
the
time.
While
he
was
charged
with
two
counts
of
simple
battery,
there
was
no
mention
of
being
charged
with
a
hate
crime.
This
isn’t
the
first
time
that
LeBeouf
has
been
charged
along
the
lines
of
being
drunk
in
public.
He
joked
about
it
ages
ago
on
Jimmy
Kimmel,
but
getting
arrested
for
the
same
shit
you
were
doing
over
a
decade
ago
is
no
laughing
matter.
Judge
Simone
Levine
ordered
him
to
go
to
rehabilitation.
As
challenging
as
rehab
can
be,
all
LeBeouf
has
to
do
is
channel
the
motivation
mascot
deep
inside:
