Arrests

One of Shia LaBeouf's alleged assault victims from his crazy night in New Orleans Monday told police Shia repeatedly hurled gay slurs at him during the alleged attack.

In the official police incident report, obtained by TMZ, Shia allegedly called two men the F-word multiple times while striking them with closed fists. But he didn't stop there, continuing to spew slurs at them even when the cops were investigating the scene and arresting him.

According to the report, Shia said at one point, "These f*****s put me in jail. I'm a Catholic."

An out-of-control driver slammed into the back of a school bus on a Florida street, shearing off his roof, somehow survived ... and later got arrested for an unrelated crime.

Here's the deal ... the Lee County Sheriff's Office shared a video of a Jaguar rapidly accelerating down a road in Fort Myers Wednesday, running headlong into the bright yellow bus.

It looks like a pretty nasty crash initially ... with the car wedged hard underneath the rear of the bus. However, authorities say the driver -- 32-year-old Jacob Novak -- was relatively uninjured and no children were riding in the bus at the time. The bus driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

King Charles III is weighing in on the arrest of his brother, formerly known as Prince Andrew, saying he fully supports the police investigation into Andrew's alleged wrongdoing in connection with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

As the world knows, Andrew was arrested Thursday by British cops at his home in England on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The ex-royal has been under tremendous scrutiny due to his longtime association with Epstein, who died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

King Charles has now issued a public statement, sharing that he's deeply concerned after learning of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. 

Charles then said there will be a "full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."

The family of the late Virginia Giuffre -- who publicly accused convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, and died by suicide last year -- is applauding the Andrew's arrest Thursday.

Her brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts told NBC News the arrest feels like a "surreal moment" and a "piece of justice" that Giuffre has been fighting for.

Her siblings told CBS News in a separate statement... "At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty."

The younger brother of King Charles III was arrested over suspicions of misconduct in public office after being accused of sharing confidential information with Epstein while working for the British government in 2010.

Check out the footage of him from fellow Mardi Gras attendees in New Orleans -- the former Disney star is super nonchalant as he's approached by a streamer ... and claims he's not anyone famous. Yet, he's got no problem talking to the thrilled fans eager to get a word in with him.

We're told he purchased a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath Uptown cottage for just over $1 million, about 20 minutes from the French Quarter. Our sources say the move was intentional ... he told people locally he wanted to "reset and refocus."

Family played a major role. Shia is extremely close with his dad Jeffrey, who lives in the area, and we're told the two regularly hit local bars together. Our sources say being closer to him was a priority.

As for why the case won't be referred ... Riebe declined to comment, pointing us to prison officials for the answer. We've reached out to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation ... so far no word back.
