THE LATEST ON SL
The court reportedly will check in on Shia's progress in three months. If he can stay out of trouble for the next year, the charges will be dismissed. If not, the actor could potentially face jail time.
The incident took place back in June 2020 in Los Angeles. Police sources told TMZ that Shia and a man were first caught in a verbal altercation before it turned physical.
Once the fight was over, Shia allegedly stole the man's hat and ran away from the scene. The unidentified man then filed a police report, which led to cops determining Shia as the aggressor.
This was not the first time Shia had a run-in with the law. In 2014, he was arrested in New York City for disorderly conduct that led him to seek treatment for alcoholism. Later in 2017, he was booked in Georgia for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and obstruction.
