Shia LaBeouf Arrested After Slapping Strangers At Theater (DETAILS)
Shia LaBeouf Arrested For Misconduct, Slapping Strangers At NYC Theater (DETAILS)
Actor Shia LaBeouf is in the spotlight again, and not for the right reasons.
The 28-year-old was arrested on Thursday for criminal trespassing and misconduct after causing a disruption at a New York City theater, according to police.
The former Transformers star was forcibly removed during a Broadway performance of Cabaret for allegedly smoking inside the theater, refusing to sit still, and annoying other theater-goers by slapping random people on the behind and in the back of the head.
According to Page Six, LaBeouf was also put in a police mask when he wouldn’t stop spitting.
As of shortly before 1 a.m. ET, LaBeouf, 28, had been processed and released, New York police officer Adam Navarro said.
A spokesman for the show says LaBeouf was “disruptive during act one” and was escorted out of the theater at intermission.
A passerby snapped this photo of the actor being escorted out of the theater with the caption: “Not a clear pic but Shia Labeouf is getting arrested by the back door of The David Letterman Show.”
The Ed Sullivan Theater, where Letterman’s show is taped, is just a few hundred feet from Studio 54, where Cabaret is being staged.
Police are investigating the disturbance.
