Shia LaBeouf has been ordered to undergo anger-management counselling as part of a plea deal related to an arrest earlier this year.
The 31-year-old actor was arrested in the lobby of a hotel in Savannah, Georgia in the early hours of July 8. Savannah police said the Transformers star became “disorderly” after he asked a stranger for a cigarette and the stranger said no. LaBeouf was also accused of making racial comments while being arrested.
According to reports, LaBeouf pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge and prosecutors dropped the charge of public drunkenness. The actor has been given a year’s probation, ordered to take anger management classes and must complete a drug and alcohol evaluation. LaBeouf has also been told to pay $2,680 (£2,037) in fines.

I don’t know if these statements are too frequent, or not shared often enough, but I am certain that my actions warrant a very sincere apology to the arresting officers, and I am grateful for their restraint. The severity of my behavior is not lost on me.”
He continued: “My outright disrespect for authority is problematic to say the least, and completely destructive to say the worst. It is a new low. A low I hope is a bottom. I have been struggling with addiction publicly for too long, and I am actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety and hope I can be forgiven for my mistakes.”
