US:LaBeouf given probation for Mardi Gras assault

Actor Shia LaBeouf has pleaded guilty to three counts of simple battery and was sentenced to probation for punching people outside a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras in February.

LaBeouf will also be required to attend an alcohol treatment program under the sentence handed down by an Orleans Parish judge on Wednesday, according to Sarah Chervinsky, an attorney for the actor.

LeBeouf, most widely known for his starring roles in 2007's Transformers and in 2008's Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, had been released on bail following his arrest near the city's historic French Quarter. Video of the February 17 encounter shows a shirtless LaBeouf outside a bar shoving one person to the ground and hitting another person in the face, "causing his nose to possibly dislocate," according to a New Orleans police report.
