Shia LaBeouf has been ordered to enrol in substance abuse treatment and undergo drug testing following his recent arrest in New Orleans

The Hollywood star - who has a history of legal troubles and addiction - was arrested on two counts of simple battery, and was released in the hours after he was taken into custody.

On Thursday (26.02.26), Judge Simone Levine confirmed that allegations of LaBeouf using homophobic language were not reflected in the official court record when he was initially freed.

The judge overturned LaBeouf's earlier release, imposing new conditions on the movie star, including a $100,000 bond and orders to enrol in substance abuse treatment.

Police in New Orleans released a statement shortly after the actor was arrested.

The police told People at the time: "At approximately 12:45am on February 17, 2026, NOPD officers were called to the 1400 block of Royal Street in response to a simple battery where two victims (two adult males), reported being assaulted.

"Investigators say a man identified as 39-year-old Shia LaBeouf was reportedly causing a disturbance and becoming increasingly aggressive at a Royal Street business. A staff member attempted to eject Mr. LaBeouf from the establishment. Once removed from the building, the victim reported being struck by LaBeouf who used his closed fists on the victim several times.

"The victims reported that LaBeouf left, but then came back, acting even more aggressive.

"Multiple people attempted to hold him down - he was eventually let up in hopes that he would leave - but he reportedly again struck the same victim with closed fists to the victim's upper body. LaBeouf then reportedly assaulted another person - punching him in the nose.

"LaBeouf was again held down until police arrived. He was taken to a hospital for treatment of unknown injuries. Upon release, he was arrested and charged with two counts of simple battery."
