Shia LaBeouf wasted no time returning to the French Quarter's Bourbon Street after the controversial actor's arrest for battery during Mardi Gras Tuesday. The Transformers star, 39, has been charged with two counts of simple battery after allegedly punching two people, one of whom he hit multiple times, local outlets report. Footage published by TMZ shows LaBeouf decked out in traditional Mardi Gras beads as he's approached by a passerby, who asks whether he's famous, which the actor denies.

"This incident was not captured on any video surveillance. There are no independent witnesses to the incident. Although the victim had photos showing injuries sustained, there were also videos in that same time frame where no injuries were observed to the victim."
