Actor Shia LaBeouf, who was arrested and charged with battery after police say he punched several people outside a New Orleans bar earlier this month, was arrested again on Saturday and charged with one additional count of simple battery, court records show.
It wasn't immediately clear if the new charge is connected to the Feb. 17 brawl outside the Royal Street Inn & R Bar, where LaBeouf is accused of repeatedly using homophobic slurs while hitting multiple people during Mardis Gras celebrations. Telephone and email messages left Saturday with LaBeouf's attorney and New Orleans police weren't immediately returned.
