Actor Shia LaBeouf arrested again on battery charge in New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Court records in New Orleans show that actor Shia LaBeouf has been rearrested and charged with an additional count of simple battery. The court record from Orleans Parish in Louisiana shows LaBeouf was arrested Saturday. LaBeouf's attorney says the arrest is connected to a Feb. 17 fight for which he was previously arrested.
