LaBeouf's attorney and the New Orleans Police Department did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment. During the initial Feb. 17 arrest, LaBeouf was taken into custody on two counts of misdemeanor battery following an alleged altercation at Royal Street Inn & R Bar during Mardi Gras festivities. An initial police report obtained by PEOPLE states that one accuser was struck “in his face with a closed fist causing his nose to possibly dislocate” and said he “pushed his nose back into place” himself. The report also alleges that LaBeouf “used the word ‘f----t’ " multiple times. The actor was ultimately ordered to enroll in substance abuse treatment, undergo drug testing and post a $100,000 bond as conditions of his release. In a recent interview with Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, posted on YouTube on Saturday and filmed before the most recent arrest, LaBeouf said that while he doesn’t condone the personal behavior that led to his Feb. 17 incident, he also doesn’t believe that rehab is the answer for him. “My behavior [was] bulls---. I gotta deal with that,” he said. “Does that mean I gotta go to rehab again? I’m just not into it. I don’t think my answers are there. I just don’t … I genuinely don’t. If I genuinely did, I’d go.”
