Shia LaBeouf has been entrenched in another wave of legal issues lately, which stem from a recent arrest. On February 17, LaBeouf (39) was taken into custody in New Orleans after getting into a fight with other individuals amid a days-long bar crawl for Mardi Gras. The actor has since discussed the altercation, though questions remain in regard to some of the specifics. As of late, LaBeouf’s also been aiming to clear another legal hurdle related to a different matter, and he and his team just received their desired update on that front.
A practitioner of the Catholic faith, LaBeouf, who’s currently out on bond, has been seeking permission to travel from Louisiana to Rome in order to witness his father’s baptism. LaBeouf initially made the request when he appeared in New Orleans Criminal District Court on February 26, and Judge Simone Levine denied the request for the trip, which was reportedly planned to happen between March 1st to the 8th. Per The Guardian, Levine struck down the appeal in great part due to the lack of a formal itinerary at the time.
