Shia LaBeouf had one thing on his mind following his day in court: food. The Disturbia actor was spotted at a restaurant in New Orleans wolfing down some pub-style food shortly after having to defend himself for an alleged incident in the French Quarter of the city. That's where a brawl reportedly ensued on Monday. Police were called out to the scene.
Shia just relocated from Los Angeles to the Big Easy in December. He and British actress Mia Goth broke up last year.

By all accounts, Shia didn't make a solid first impression in New Orleans. The actor was arrested on Monday for allegedly punching a bar employee. That led to a series of fights, according to reports. He's been charged with two counts of simple battery.
His first court appearance was on Tuesday for an initial hearing. TMZ reports that 50 minutes after his 3pm local time appearance, he was at the pub, chowing down on a burger and fries while drinking a cold glass of water.

As you might imagine, the actor got plenty of attention from people inside, and he was happy chatting them up. Supposedly he made no mention of his arrest or where he had been before that. Shia apparently chatted with and congratulated a recently engaged couple while talking Olympics with others and snapping a few selfies.
The alleged brawl ended with paramedics treating Shia for minor injuries. Throughout his career, Shia has faced his share of legal matters. Among them are abuse allegations, along with plagiarism and alcoholism.
In 2021, he had to go through a diversion program after being criminally charged with misdemeanour battery and petty theft. That was in relation to an altercation which took place in June 2020. His last film appearance was in the documentary Slauson Rec, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last May.
