A New Orleans court sentenced actor Shia LaBeouf to two years of probation on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to three counts of simple battery.
The charges stem from a physical altercation during Mardi Gras in February.

LaBeouf, 39, received a suspended six-month prison sentence for each count during his arraignment hearing, according to Orleans Parish court records.
The incident occurred in the 1400 block of Royal Street, where police responded to reports of LaBeouf punching two individuals.
Police records noted that LaBeouf became increasingly aggressive during the disturbance.
Judge Simone Levine ordered drug and alcohol testing after reports showed the actor shouted slurs during his initial court appearance.
Following his arrest and same-day release, video footage showed LaBeouf dancing with Mardi Gras revelers on Bourbon Street while holding his release papers in his mouth.

Legal History
This conviction adds to a series of legal issues for the actor.
He was previously arrested in early 2017 for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct in New York, resulting in court-mandated rehabilitation.
Later that summer, LaBeouf faced similar charges in Georgia while filming "The Peanut Butter Falcon," leading to a probation sentence for public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and obstruction.
His legal history also includes 2020 misdemeanor battery and petty theft charges in Los Angeles.
