Shia LaBeouf released from prison

American actor, performance artist, and filmmaker, Shia LeBeouf was released from prison after posting a $7,000 bond, reports CNN. The 31-year-old was arrested in Savannah, Georgia, on suspicion of disorderly conduct and public drunkenness on Saturday, where he was filming for The Peanut Butter Falcon with Dakota Johnson and Bruce Dern. According to the Chatham County Sheriff’s Office, LaBeouf was taken into custody around 4am, and was released later from Chatham county detention centre after posting a $7,000 bond. The actor approached a bystander and a police officer asking for a cigarette, according to a statement from the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department. He became disorderly, using profanities and vulgar language, when he wasn’t given a cigarette, according to the statement. When ordered to leave the area, LeBouf reportedly refused to leave and became aggressive towards the officer. “When the officer attempted to place LaBeouf under arrest, LaBeouf ran to a nearby hotel. LaBeouf was arrested in the hotel lobby, where his unruly behaviour continued,” read the statement. However, this is not the first time the Transformers star had trouble with the law. LeBouf has previous records of infringing laws. He was arrested in New York, following a scuffle with a man at his own art exhibition in January. Although the charges were dismissed later. Other instances of his arrest include arrests for public intoxication in 2015, in Texas, and a driving under influence (DUI) in 2008, in California. He was pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct after an outburst at a Broadway theatre in 2014.
