Shia LaBeouf: Busted for DUI and Busted Up
WENN

Freshly minted movie star Shia LaBeouf was cited for misdemeanor drunk driving Sunday morning after colliding with another vehicle at 2:45 a.m. and rolling his truck. The accident caused minor injuries to Shia's female passenger and the male driver of the other vehicle.

According to TMZ, law-enforcement officials considered filing felony DUI charges against the Transformers and Indiana Jones star. Lucky for Shia, none of the scrapes and bruises suffered were severe enough to warrant the more serious prosecution.

LaBeouf appears to have been the most seriously hurt on the scene, with emergency medical attention being required for one of his hands.

Young Shia won't have much luck growing into the next Tom Hanks (particularly if he wants to play a gay character, as Hanks did in Philadelphia) if he can't keep himself off the police blotter.

The assumed successor to the Indiana Jones series—who has admitted to housing his father in the garage of his Burbank, California home—has previously run afoul of the law for smoking in public and for acting a fool in a Chicago drugstore.

“And the Disney curse strikes again. Oh yeah, that's right; Shia was a Disney child star ala Lindsay and Britney. What the fuck do they do to these kids? Promise the parents a boatload of cash as long as their little prodigies down a fifth of Jameson every morning with Michael Eisner? I mean, seriously that, uh, actually sounds kind of awesome. So, who wants to make a baby?”

“Shia LaBeouf has officially arrived. The actor was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor DUI early Sunday morning after he was involved in a car accident in Hollywood (video of the accident scene on PAGE 2). After the accident, LaBeouf was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center to undergo emergency surgery on his left hand. He dodged a felony only because the male driver of the other car as well as the female passenger in his car suffered minor injuries.

I hope all you up-and-comers out there in young Hollywood — the Hayden Panettieres, the Ali Lohans, the Miley Cyruses — are paying attention. Because that is how you get a DUI. What a showman! He’s like a modern day P.T. Barnum . . . if P.T. Barnum was into jello shots.”

“More information is trickling in (from TMZ, of course) about Shia Labeouf's accident and DUI arrest that took place early Sunday morning.

According a witness (how do they find these people?), they heard a startling crash at about 2:45 a.m. and the sound of Labeouf's truck flipping.

Shia's passenger was a female and according to the witness, all drivers and passengers were clear of the vehicles in little time. Nobody was yelling or arguing while they waited for the ambulances, cops and fire truck to arrive.

Good times.”

“We're getting closer and closer to the day when a celebrity actually kills someone while driving high or drunk or both. The people of L.A. need to know that their lives are expendable according to the cops, who have made it clear that celebrities are above the law. The latest incident happened Saturday night at 3am, when Shia LaBeouf, 22, caused a two-car collision after he pulled in front of a car while making a left turn. His Ford F-150 was struck and flipped onto its roof. No one was seriously injured but Shia had extensive surgery on his left hand early Sunday morning and was booked on suspicion of felony DUI.”
“Actor Shia LaBeouf has badly hurt his hand in a car accident. The 22-year-old made an illegal left turn at the corner of LaBrea and Fountain in Hollywood at 3:00 a.m. and collided with another car, resulting in minor injuries for both a passenger in Shia's car and the other car involved.

Shia was placed under arrest by officers on the scene after showing "outward signs" of being drunk. According to TMZ, no major injuries were suffered, however the Crystal Skull actor was taken to the hospital because his hand sustained injuries to his hand that will likely require surgery.”

“Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for suspicion of a DUI misdemeanor.

TMZ reports the 22-year-old Transformers actor was arrested around 3 a.m. Sunday morning in Hollywood for allegedly driving drunk. Shia made a left turn in front of another car causing the two cars to collide.

Labeouf is currently undergoing surgery for a badly injured left hand.”

“It sounds like no one was seriously injured which is a good thing, but I hope LaBeouf has to spend some time in jail for this. It's awful that anyone would think it's acceptable to get in a car while intoxicated and risk harm to innocent people.”

    So....Shy LeDoof , the most over-rated and over-hyped and under-talented "personality" to be foisted on an unsuspecting public by the Hollywood media machine, got into an accident and cracked up his car.

    Way to go, LeDoof! Already going the Mark Hamill route to obscurity, I see. I'm sure that Spielberg and Lucas are going to be delighted with you, banana brain!
