Shia LaBeouf Bonds Out After Fresh Battery Charge Tied to Mardi Gras Bar Fight

Shia LaBeouf bonded out on a $5,000 bond after an additional simple battery arrest in New Orleans, linked to the February 17 bar fight during Mardi Gras. He turned himself in after a new arrest warrant was issued for the same incident; authorities allege he assaulted multiple people outside the Royal Street Inn & R Bar and used homophobic slurs. LaBeouf has not entered a plea and is due back in Orleans Parish Criminal Court on March 19. His lawyers say he should not face unequal treatment because he is a public figure.
