[Shia LaBeouf Escorted Out of CABARET in Handcuffs](http://www.broadwayworld.com/article/Breaking-News-Shia-LaBeouf-Escorted-Out-of-CABARET-in-Handcuffs-20140626#.U62EO87_o-B) > [@](#): > > ABC News has reported that “LaBeouf, 28, was smoking inside the theater and engaging in other disruptive behavior, police said. When he was asked to leave, he refused and then threatened the officers and people on the sidewalk outside. He was charged with two counts of disorderly conduct and one count of criminal trespassing.” And it gets better. At the police station, officers had to [put him in a face mask](http://pagesix.com/2014/06/26/shia-labeouf-arrested-for-disorderly-conduct/) because he was spitting at them. > [@](#): > > Troublemaking actor Shia LaBeouf went berserk in the audience at the Broadway musical “Cabaret” Thursday night and was hauled off in handcuffs to a station house — where he told cops, “I’ll f–k you up,” called an officer a “f-g,” and was muzzled with a face mask for spitting, sources said. > > The “Nymphomaniac” star was slapping people on the behind and in the back of the head while smoking at around 9:30 p.m. in the Studio 54 theater, according to law-enforcement sources. According to those at the theatre, he was smoking a joint. Mental disorder? Rehab? WTF? ---

Reports on the radio here in New York says he was unwashed and easily mistaken for a homeless and was not acting “high” so much as “buttfuck insane”. O.K., the quotes may be misleading as no one interviewed used the exact words ‘butfuck insane’ but the sentiment holds. ---

Wrong LaBeouf. Especially considering the LaBeouf on **The Cosby Show** was a woman. And African-American. And apparently her name was spelled Le Beauf. ---
