“He [LaBeouf] became disorderly, using profanities and vulgar language in front of the women and children present,” a statement from Savannah Chatham Metropolitan Police read. “He was told to leave the area and refused, becoming aggressive toward the officer. When the officer attempted to place LaBeouf under arrest, LaBeouf ran to a nearby hotel. LaBeouf was arrested in the hotel lobby, where his disorderly behavior continued.”
The actor has been in the area working on his next movie “The Peanut Butter Falcon” with co-stars Bruce Dern and Dakota Johnson.
All the charges are misdemeanors. His bond was placed at $7000.
