Actor Shia LaBeouf Arrested For Disorderly Conduct

Actor Shia LaBeouf was arrested in Georgia on charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication early on Saturday after he became unruly in downtown Savannah.

LaBeouf, best known for his role as Sam Witwicky in the “Transformers” action movie franchise, was in the bustling City Market neighborhood before dawn when he approached a bystander and a police officer and asked for a cigarette, Savannah police said in a statement.

“When LaBeouf wasn’t given a cigarette, he became disorderly, using profanities and vulgar language in front of the women and children present,” the statement said.

He became aggressive toward the officer when asked to leave, police said, and when the officer tried to arrest LaBeouf he ran into a hotel lobby.

Eventually, he was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, and obstruction, and booked into the Chatham County jail, authorities said.

A representative for the Chatham County jail could not be reached to confirm whether the actor had been released.
