Shia LaBeouf proclaims his innocence on charges of petty theft and battery.
As per ET, the actor's lawyer entered the "not guilty" plea on behalf of the star, who is facing two misdemeanor charges from an alleged incident back in June. A rep for the LA City Attorney's Office told the celebrity gossip outlet that "defense counsel appeared without Mr. LaBeouf" when the plea was submitted. The case is scheduled for January 20, 2021.
Back in October, it was reported that the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office was pressing charges against the former child star for allegedly using force and violence against a man named Tyler Murphy and taking his hat on June 12 in Los Angeles.
Back in July 2017, Laebeouf was arrested for disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and obstruction in Savannah, Georgia. He was ordered to complete rehab after the incident. "It was the first time I was told I had PTSD. I had just thought I was an alcoholic," he said in an October 2019 interview with The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast. "The stuff that's in Honey Boy comes out of these exposure therapy sessions."
