Shia LaBeouf received court approval to travel to Rome for his father's baptism from March 6-13, days after a New Orleans judge initially denied the request. The initial denial stemmed from the lack of a travel itinerary. LaBeouf's attorney submitted a second request with the itinerary to a different magistrate, who granted permission. LaBeouf is currently out on bond following a February 17 arrest for allegedly battering three men and using homophobic slurs at a New Orleans bar. The actor was also ordered to enroll in substance abuse treatment. The situation has raised questions about whether LaBeouf is receiving preferential treatment from the New Orleans criminal justice system.
