Since Shia was the only person seriously hurt police decided to charge his with only a misdemeanor DUI rather than a felony DUI.
LaBeouf injured his left hand and was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for surgery, according to Sgt. Kristin Aloma of the sheriff’s West Hollywood station. LaBeouf’s passenger and the other driver, both women, were treated for minor injuries and released from Cedars.
LaBeouf, 22, “was exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication,” Aloma said. He was cited for misdemeanor drunken driving instead of felony drunken driving because the injuries suffered by the others were minor, she explained.
So far drinking has caused Shia to make an embarrassing video where his friend punched him in the face at his request, and to get arrested at a Walgreens in chicago. The mug shot above is from the Walgreens arrest. Shia was also fined for smoking in a no smoking area by police. It looks like he needs some help kicking his legal addictions before he gets into much more serious trouble. Click on pictures to enlarge.
Moments before he got in a crash Saturday night that ended with him being charged with DUI, "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf was "pounding shots and acting really crazy" at LA bar Troubadour, spies said. "He was pounding drinks and shots while listening to the band Lemon Sun before he took off," said one....LaBeouf apparently picked up his partying ways from his father. He tells this month's Details he used to drink and smoke with his dad, a former heroin junkie who now lives in LaBeouf's garage. "We would drink together and smoke together, and it's just a bad deal. It's not something that is conducive to being a role model...And I don't know how to do it like a gentleman. I don't know how to have one drink."
Transformers 2 filming has been put on hold while everyone waits for Shia LaBeouf to recover from the injury to his left hand, which required extensive surgery today. It’s a good thing Shia is insured for this type of thing, but that insurance is about to get more expensive with DUI charges pending.
Shia’s publicist released the following statement regarding Shia’s DUI arrest, hospitalization, and surgery:
"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. No further comment will be issued at this time."
Lindsay Lohan cannot find work on big films anymore, because her insurance is too expensive after her DUI’s, and other rehab related problems. Shia had better get some help now before he ends up in the same position as Lindsay. Shia is his own worst enemy.
