anymore, we beg to differ, because the actor was
arrested in New York last night--and it's all over the
news.
The 28-year-old Fury star was arrested and charged
with two counts of disorderly conduct, one count of
criminal trespassing and one count of harassment after
disrupting a performance of Broadway's Cabaret on
Thursday night.
After being escorted out of the play, he was taken into
custody and transported to the Midtown North station
and was arraigned this morning at 10 a.m. at Midtown
Community Court.
The Transformers star was released on his
recognizance, and his next court date is scheduled for
July 24. But what caused the troubled actor to lash out
at cops and what was he doing prior to the play? Here
is a timeline of events:
- Prior to attending the performance of Cabaret at
Studio 54, LaBeouf was spotted at the Iguana Club, a
Mexican restaurant located next to the theater in NYC.
A woman who was approached by LaBeouf after he left
the club tells E! News that the actor said he had been
drinking double margaritas and was alone.
- LaBeouf, who, according to our eyewitness, appeared
to be visibly drunk, proceeded to then stop on
Broadway and began harassing customers outside a
store and cursing non-stop. "He wasn't right in the
head. His shirt was ripped and he stunk," our insider
said.
- After he eventually left, the actor returned to 54th
street, where he was seen walking around aimlessly,
according to an eyewitness.
- The troubled actor, who was wearing a ripped blue T-
shirt, skinny jeans and unlaced boots, was then seen
chasing a homeless man on the streets. While it's
unclear what provoked the confrontation, reports state
he either wanted a baseball cap or a bag of McDonald's
food from the man.

LaBeouf's arrest
- After his public chase-down, LaBeouf proceeded to
Studio 54 to attend a performance of Cabaret. A source
who was inside the theater tells E! News, "Shia was
smoking (which is clearly not allowed), and whooping
and hollering at very inopportune moments (like
shouting 'Yeah!' after dramatic moments, clapping
before songs began instead of waiting until after they
were over, etc.)." The NYPD later confirmed to E! News
that Shia was inside Studio 54 where he was being
disruptive and smoking cigarettes. Security escorted
him out. When police arrived, he was being disorderly.
He was taken into custody and was transported to the
Midtown North station. Additionally, the Cabaret rep
told E! News, LaBeouf "was disruptive during act one
and escorted out of Studio 54 at intermission."
- According to the police complaint, while being
escorted out of the theater in handcuffs, Shia
screamed at Studio 54 security guard Carlos Ortiz,
saying "F--k you. This is f--king bullshit. Do you know
my life? Do you know who the f--k I am? Do you know
who I am?"According to a complaint filed by Ortiz, Shia
also split in Carlos' direction and the guard observed
the actor's spit landing at his feet.
- LaBeouf was subsequently arrested, taken into
custody and transported to the Midtown North station,
where his troubles only continued. According to NBC
News, prosecuters allege that he told a police officer:
"I'll end your life. Do you know who I am?" before he
launched into an expletive filled-rant which included a
homophobic slur.
- This morning, LaBeouf was arraigned at Midtown
Community Court around 10 a.m. in New York City. He
was then released on his recognizance, and his next
court date is scheduled for July 24.
- The 28-year-old actor left the precinct looking
disheveled and wearing the same outfit he was seen
sporting on Thursday. The former Disney Channel star
walked to a hotel several blocks away and declined to
speak with reporters on the scene.
