The decision was announced on Wednesday, June 3, where the actor received a sentence of two years' probation, alcohol abuse rehabilitation, sensitivity training and anger management classes.

Meanwhile, LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky said the investigation was "nothing more than a minor bar tussle.”

The star is now “looking forward to focusing on family, work and new creative projects,” she added. 

Authorities revealed that the Fury actor had been partying in town all weekend and became aggressive when the managers tried to remove him. He allegedly had to be restrained until investigators arrived at the scene of crime.

LaBeouf allegedly broke one person’s nose who told him he didn’t even want to fight, as seen in several videos from the party venue.

One undisclosed bartender told the police that the actor was “terrorising the city.”

He appeared in court on February 26 and was then released on a $100,000 bond. Soon after he was released LaBeouf was mocking the legal drama by dancing with the jail paperwork in his mouth.
