LaBeouf charged with battery, theft

Shia LaBeouf has been charged with misdemeanour battery and petty theft. Prosecutors allege that the 34-yearold actor fought with a man named Tyler Murphy and took his hat, according to a criminal complaint obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday from the Los Angeles city attorney. The charges were filed on Sept. 24 for the June 12 incident. A representative for LaBeouf did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. LaBeouf is known for his roles in 2007’s “Transformers,” 2008’s “Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull,” and last year’s “Honey Boy.” He has had several run-ins with the law during his career, including a 2017 New York arrest for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct. .
