UPDATE: July 8, 5:10 p.m. ET—According to a statement from the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department, the incident occurred when LaBeouf “approached a bystander and a police officer asking for a cigarette,” reports CNN.
The statement continued, saying that the actor “became disorderly, using profanities and vulgar language, when he wasn’t given a cigarette.”
LaBeouf reportedly became aggressive toward the officer, refused to leave the area, and ran into a hotel when the officer tried to arrest him. He was then arrested in the hotel lobby.
The actor has since been released from jail.
