The actor, long open about his struggle with sobriety, was also ordered to undergo drug testing and pay $100,000 bond
Shia LaBeouf on Thursday was ordered to enroll in substance abuse treatment, undergo a drug testing program and pay a $100,000 bond as conditions of his release from custody after the actor allegedly battered and hurled homophobic slurs at two men at a New Orleans bar.
The requirements imposed on LaBeouf, 39, by New Orleans judge Simone Levine came after the Transformer film franchise star was initially allowed to leave jail without being required to pay a bond in the hours after his 17 February arrest on two counts of misdemeanor battery.
But at the time LaBeouf was let out, the allegations of homophobic comments attributed to him had not yet become part of the official court record, Levine said in court Thursday.
So Levine summoned the actor to New Orleans’ criminal courthouse on Thursday. He appeared with well-known New Orleans criminal defense attorney Sarah Chervinsky representing him, and a state judge told him to put up bond to remain out of jail while the case is unresolved.
