AceShowbiz - Shia LaBeouf avoided jail time after making a drunken ruckus during a Broadway show starring Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams earlier this summer. The former "Transformers" actor showed up at the Manhattan Criminal Court on Wednesday, September 10 and pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct.
"Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?" Judge Diana Boyar asked in a standard question in such pleas. "Yes, your honour," LaBeouf said. Assistant District Attorney Alyssa Russell told the judge prosecutors made the plea deal "based on the fact that the defendant has been in continuous treatment since his arrest."
His case will be dismissed and sealed after six months if he stays out of trouble and completes another three months of substance abuse treatment. "You must come to court each time the case is on. There must be no new arrests," the judge warned the "Nymphomaniac" star. If he doesn't comply, "all bets are off."
LaBeouf was smoking cigarettes and yelling at the actors onstage when watching "Cabaret" revival in June. He reportedly went berserk after a warning, refused to leave when asked to, and spat at police officers who eventually arrested him.
