Actor Shia LaBeouf is known for being a wack job, a substance abuser, and most recently anti-Trump.
He can now add racist criminal to that list, after a video was released of LaBeouf going on a disgusting racist rant after being arrested.
He was arrested early Saturday morning in Savannah Georgia for public intoxication, after becoming disorderly after being denied a cigarette.
The Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police released a statement describing the moment of arrest:
“Around 4:00 a.m., Shia LaBeouf, 31, approached a bystander and an SCMPD officer near the intersection of Barnard Street and West St. Julian Street, asking for a cigarette. When LaBeouf wasn’t given a cigarette, he became disorderly, using profanities and vulgar language in front of the women and children present, he was told to leave the area and refused, becoming aggressive toward the officer. When the officer attempted to place LaBeouf under arrest, LaBeouf ran to a nearby hotel. LaBeouf was arrested in the hotel lobby, where his disorderly behavior continued. LaBeouf was charged with obstruction, disorderly conduct, and public drunkenness.”
While the police statement ends there, the events did not.
The video, released by TMZ, shows LaBeouf in the police station going on a racist rant, at one point telling an African American officer he was going to hell because of his race.

In another video, LaBeouf is seen saying explicit things to an officer about his wife:

Once the videos became public, LeBeouf issued an apology on Twitter.

While LaBeouf acknowledges his unacceptable action, this kind of controversy is nothing new for him. Following the inauguration of President Donald Trump, LaBeouf hosted a live streaming video of him and others saying “he will not divide us” repeatedly in an eerie tone.
During the “performance art” piece, LaBeouf had an altercation with another man and was arrested.
He was arrested previous times in 2007, 2008, 2014 and 2015 before the two most recent crimes.
