"Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf case drama continues as the former child star appeared in court to face criminal charges from his drunken Broadway meltdown last month.
According to a report from NY Daily News, lawyers are nearing a plea deal for LaBeouf, who was charged with third-degree criminal trespass, trespassing, disorderly conduct and second-degree harassment.
If the "Transformers" actor is found guilty, Shia LsBeouf will be looking at up to 90 days in jail for the case.
The 28-year-old actor appeared last Thursday in the Manhattan Criminal Court following his arrest during a "Cabaret" performance at Studio 54 on June 26. "Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf case reveal he was at the Broadway show when he disrupted it and started picking fights with strangers, ranting: "F--k you! This is f--king bullshit! Do you know my life? Do you know who the f--k I am? Do you know who I am?"
However, LaBeouf was quite the opposite during his court appearance, donning his best behaviour and approaching the prosecutor to offer a handshake introduction.
The actor reportedly just sat quietly during the session, looking very professional in a stylish charcoal suit and skinny tie.
Following the Broadway drunken debacle, a source from LaBeouf's camp has informed NY Daily News that the actor was voluntarily seeking treatment for alcohol addiction.
A separate report from E!Online said that a source has also clarified that "there were definitely no drugs involved" during the said incident. "Drinking and Shia do not mix well, but he definitely wasn't on any kind of drugs," the source said.
The NY Daily News report expounded that Assistant District Attorney Alyssa Russell said to Judge Ann Scherzer that "the Defense counsel are discussing a possible resolution in this case", and are asking for an adjournment until September "in hopes (that they) can come toward a disposition"
LaBeouf's lawyer, G. Robert Gage, Jr., did not answer reporters' questions after the hearing, as details of the eyed plea deal were not disclosed in court. The actor is next due in court on September 10.
