Body camera video released by authorities showed a surly, uncooperative LaBeouf yelling profanities at police.

In his statement the actor said, "I am certain that my actions warrant a very sincere apology to the arresting officers, and I am grateful for their restraint."

"My outright disrespect for authority is problematic to say the least, and completely destructive to say the worst," LaBeouf said. "It is a new low. A low I hope is bottom."

"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," he added.
