Judge Simone Levine also ordered LaBeouf to do weekly drug tests.
After the hearing, LaBeouf posted bond and left the courthouse, trying to avoid the media.
The alleged problems began in the Faubourg Marigny district in New Orleans with a bar fight early in the morning. Police responded to a call for simple battery. Two men reported that they were assaulted, according to the New Orleans PD.
