 Shia LaBeouf has apologized for his recent erratic behavior just days after he was arrested on suspicion of obstruction, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. 
 
 The actor was taken into custody by the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police in Georgia during the early morning hours of July 8 after he lashed out at a bystander for refusing to give him a cigarette. Police stated that LaBeouf used "profanities and vulgar language" and showed aggression toward a police officer after being asked to leave the area. 
 
 According to TMZ, the arrest included a racist rant, in which the actor accuses the police of being racist, or "a black man arrested me for being white." He also yelled at a black cop, "You're going to hell, straight to hell, bro." 
 
 LaBeouf, who was later released on a $7,000 bond, wrote that he was "deeply ashamed" of his actions in a message posted to social media Wednesday. 
 
 "I am deeply ashamed of my behavior and make no excuse for it. I don't know if these statements are too frequent, or not shared often enough, but I am certain that my actions warrant a very sincere apology to the arresting officers, and I am grateful for their restraint," he wrote. "The severity of my behavior is not lost on me." 
 
 The post continued: "My outright disrespect for authority is problematic to say the least, and completely destructive to say the worst. It is a new low. A low I hope is a bottom." 
 
 In May, the actor was sued for defamation and assault for swearing and yelling at a bartender in a Studio City bowling alley after being refused a drink because he appeared to be too intoxicated. 
 
 LaBeouf concluded his post by asking for forgiveness for his "mistakes" and revealed that he's making an effort to get sober. 
 
 "I have been struggling with addiction publicly for far too long, and I am actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety and hope I can be forgiven for my mistakes." ||||| The actor apologised and said he is struggling with addiction, after video emerged of him using racially charged language toward a black officer 
 
 Shia LaBeouf has apologised after a video emerged of him using racially charged language towards a black police officer when he was arrested for being drunk in public over the weekend. 
 
 The Transformers star said in a statement that he was “deeply ashamed” of his behaviour in Savannah, Georgia. He said: “I have been struggling with addiction publicly for far too long.” 
 
 “You’re going to hell, straight to hell, bro,” LaBeouf said to a black officer after his arrest for drunkenness, disorderly conduct and obstruction. LaBeouf also said the officer “arrest[ed him] for being white”. 
 
 LaBeouf claimed he was arrested for asking for a cigarette, but the police account said he was using offensive language in front of children and being disorderly. 
 
 “He was told to leave the area and refused, becoming aggressive toward the officer,” said the Savannah-Chatham metropolitan police department in a statement. 
 
 In his statement, LaBeouf put the behaviour – which took place in the police station – down to issues with addiction. He said: “I am actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety and hope I can be forgiven for my mistakes.” 
 
 The actor was arrested in January over a dispute connected to his art project #HeWillNotDivideUs. LaBeouf was involved with an altercation with a man with divergent political opinions at the project, which closed the following month after it became a “flashpoint for violence”. ||||| Shia LaBeouf 'You're Going to Hell' Cause You're Black

– Shia LaBeouf has apologized for a racist rant after his arrest last weekend, saying he's been "struggling with addiction publicly for far too long." TMZ reports the mea culpa came after a video emerged of the out-of-control actor telling a black police officer in Savannah, Ga., who was fingerprinting him, "You're going to hell, straight to hell, brother." He adds, "You especially, deputy. That's savage as f---, man. ... Because you're a black man." When a white cop responds, "That doesn't mean he's going to hell," LaBeouf says, "It means a whole lot, bro." The Transformers star was busted early July 8 after unleashing an expletive-filled tirade on a bystander who refused to give him a cigarette, and then ignoring a cop's order to get lost, per the Hollywood Reporter. In the cruiser, LaBeouf turns his fury on the black cop, saying he was arrested only for being white, per TMZ. LaBeouf, 31, was charged with public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and obstruction, and later released on a $7,000 bond. He tweeted on Wednesday that he had reached a "new low." He writes, "I am deeply ashamed of my behavior and make no excuse for it. I don't know if these statements are too frequent, or not shared often enough, but I am certain that my actions warrant a very sincere apology to the arresting officers, and I am grateful for their restraint. The severity of my behavior is not lost on me." He adds that he is "actively taking steps toward securing my sobriety." LaBeouf was arrested in January after he tangled with a man who disagreed with him over his art project, #HeWillNotDivideUs, per the Guardian. (A bartender who refused LeBeouf a drink is suing him for assault and defamation.)
