Shia LaBeouf, the once-unstoppable Hollywood star, is staring down financial collapse and a possible prison stint following his arrest for a drunken Mardi Gras brawl in New Orleans last month, sources close to the actor have warned.
LaBeouf's troubles erupted in the early hours of 17 February in the French Quarter's Faubourg Marigny district. Police hauled him in on two counts of misdemeanor battery after he allegedly punched two men during a chaotic night at the Royal Street Inn and Bar. Released initially on his own recognisance, he later had to cough up $105,000 in bail when a judge learned of slurs he reportedly hurled in the melee. Now, with sentencing looming, insiders say he's burning cash faster than a blockbuster budget while torching what remains of his career.
