From party to trial: Shia LaBeouf’s drastic legal turn
What started as an afternoon of celebration at the New Orleans Mardi Gras ended with Shia LaBeouf in front of a judge. And things got serious, very serious.
On February 17, the actor was arrested after an altercation in a bar. He reportedly verbally attacked several people and hit a waiter, leaving him with a broken nose.
He was initially released on minor charges. But yesterday in court, Judge Simone Levine changed the rules of the game.
The magistrate not only revoked his probation after learning that he used homophobic slurs during the fight.
Now the protagonist of Transformers faces a much more complicated legal situation. One of those days that start with costumes and end with court summons.
People magazine released the details of the case. And they paint a pretty dark picture for LaBeouf, who has several conflictive episodes in his history.
The next hearing could define whether this ends in a conviction or another chapter in his tumultuous career. For now, his lawyers have extra work.
