The latest muck up in Hollywood was committed by actor Shia LaBeouf; who spent the wee hours of Sunday morning chatting with police officials after his automobile was involved in a critical crash.
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. S. Wolf told the Associated Press that the 3 a.m. accident occurred when LaBeouf made a left turn in front of another vehicle, which caused his own to roll over. Smart!
Furthermore, upon arriving on the scene officers found that “…LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest,” according to Wolf.
The actor was booked for a misdemeanor DUI and was eventually released.
Because both Shia and his female passengers sustained injuries, the group then sought treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. But luckily the other driver walked away with barely a scratch.
On Sunday evening spokeswoman Melissa Kates issued the following statement:
“Attorneys for Mr. LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008. Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of Transformers 2 within one month…”
As we all know, this is not the star’s first run-in with the authorities. In November of ’07 he was hauled off to jail after causing a drunken spectacle inside a Chicago Walgreens. And this year on two separate occasions he received a hefty fine for puffing on a cigarette in a non-smoking vicinity.
