Actor Shia LaBeouf has been released from jail after being arrested for public drunkenness.

The US star, 31, was reportedly arrested in the lobby of a hotel in Savannah, Georgia after an altercation with a policeman in the early hours of Saturday morning.

According to the Chatham County Sheriff's Office, the Fury actor has now been released after posting $7000 bond.

The police report states that LaBeouf asked a bystander for a cigarette and became “aggressive” when he was refused one.

The actor reportedly became “disorderly” and responded “using profanities and vulgar language in front of the women and children present.”

LaBeouf is currently in Savannah shooting scenes for forthcoming film, The Peanut Butter Falcon, co-starring Dakota Johnson.

He was arrested back in January after an altercation with a Donald Trump supporter who invaded his live-stream protest.

LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanour assault and harassment before being released on bail following the incident.

New York’s Museum of the Moving Image later removed the stream, with LaBeouf claiming that the venue had ‘abandoned them’.

The actor’s latest art project saw him spend a month in an isolated Lapland cabin, cut off from the outside world.

LaBeouf’s only communication with other people was via text messages, which were sent by visitors to Kiasma museum in Helskinki.
