Actor Shia LaBeouf admitted today to acting up at a Broadway show, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in one of several episodes of bizarre behavior the former "Transformers" star has displayed in recent years.
LaBeouf, whose representatives have said has gotten treatment for an alcohol problem since his June arrest, somberly answered a judge's questions as he pleaded guilty in a deal that involves no jail time or probation.
If he stays in treatment for at least three months and out of trouble for six, he will be allowed to withdraw the guilty plea and the case will be dismissed.
"Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?" Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Diana Boyar asked, a standard question in such pleas.
"Yes, your honor," LaBeouf said.
He declined to comment as he left court encircled by news cameras.
"We appreciate the thoughtfulness of the resolution of the matter by the (Manhattan) district attorney's office," said his lawyer, G Robert Gage.
LaBeouf, 28, was watching Alan Cumming and Michelle Williams in a "Cabaret" revival on June 24 when he started smoking cigarettes, yelling at the actors onstage, and swearing at security guards and hollering as he was escorted out: "Do you know who I am?" according to court papers. Taken to a police precinct, he spat at an officer's feet, according to the documents.
He faced charges including a misdemeanor trespassing offense and some non-criminal violations, disorderly conduct among them.
Assistant District Attorney Alyssa Russell told the judge that prosecutors had made the plea agreement "based on the fact that the defendant has been in continuous treatment since his arrest."
Outside court, Gage declined to detail the treatment.
LaBeouf's publicist said in July he was voluntarily was being treated for alcoholism but had not checked into a rehab facility.
