Shia LaBeouf could possibly avoid jail time in his battery and theft case.

A judge ordered the 34-year-old actor into a judicial diversion program on Thursday, according to documents obtained by People magazine. 

The "Honey Boy" star was ordered to attend private therapy to work on his anger management at least once a week, continue monitoring his alcohol by wearing a Soberlink device, undergo random alcohol testing, must remain 100 yards from the victim, Tyler Murphy, and the site of the incident. He was also informed he cannot use or obtain a weapon.

If LaBeouf complies and completes the judge's order, he will avoid jail time. The court will check in on LaBeouf's progress in three months, the report states.
