Actor Shia LaBeouf pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of simple battery for punching people outside a New Orleans bar in February during Mardi Gras, according to court records and statements from a representative for the Orleans Parish Criminal District Court.
The incident occurred on February 17 outside a Marigny bar. Video of the encounter shows a shirtless LaBeouf shoving one person to the ground and hitting another person in the face, "causing his nose to possibly dislocate," according to a New Orleans police report.
Jeffrey Damnit, a well-known local entertainer identified as Jeffrey Klein in the incident report, said he was one of the people attacked by LaBeouf. "He hit me, he connected a few times with punches, he pushed me a few times," Damnit told The Associated Press earlier this year. Damnit said LaBeouf "just got nuts" trying to start fights and telling the entertainer and others that he would beat them up.
LaBeouf, 39, has been sentenced to a six-month suspended sentence and two years of active probation. As part of the conditions of his sentence, he must complete anger management and sensitivity training. The case has been closed.
An attorney and a manager for LaBeouf did not immediately respond to requests for comment. LaBeouf's attorney for the case, Sarah Chervinsky, shared a statement with media outlets regarding the resolution.
