Shia LaBeouf was arrested for public intoxication in Austin, Texas.
Shia LaBeouf was arrested in Austin, Texas on Friday night. According to reports, LAbeouf was arrested shortly after 7:30 p.m. for public intoxication. He was later released.
He was first contacted by authorities in the street near the intersection of Sixth and San Jacinto and arrested on a sidewalk nearby.
The actor is in town for the Austin City Limits music festival, according to TMZ.
From TMZ:
It happened at around 7:45 PM CT outside a bar on 6th Street. A witness says Shia was either extremely drunk or high on drugs when he ran down the street and jaywalked in front of police. They warned him not to do it but he continued, acting bizarrely.
Cops subdued him and put him in cuffs.
Another witness tells us, before the arrest Shia and a woman tried walking into a bar but they were denied because they were too intoxicated. Shia began swearing up a storm and tried forcing himself into the bar but was blocked. Shia and the woman left and began walking.
