Shia LaBeouf apologizes for his verbal abuse towards police in Georgia
Actor Shia LaBeouf apologized Wednesday July 12, after a video was released of him hurling offensive remarks at police officers.
The “Tranformers” star was arrested Saturday morning in the lobby of a hotel in Savannah, Georgia.
He has been charged with obstruction, disorderly conduct, and public drunkenness, according to police.
In a statement posted on his official twitter account, LaBeouf shared an apology saying he is “deeply ashamed” of his behavior and called it “a new low.”

LaBeouf’s apology came hours after celebrity website TMZ posted a video taken while the actor was being booked.
In the video the actor repeatedly swears at the officers and accuses them of being racist for “arresting [him] for being white”. He goes on to yell “I’ve got more millionaire lawyers than you know what to do with” and tells a black officer that he will “go to hell”.
