Shia LaBeouf’s Rite of Passage: DUI Arrest

Shia LaBeouf is no longer a child should there have still been doubts, as proven by his DUI arrest in Hollywood this weekend, which included a multi-vehicle accident and surgery on his left hand.

“Transformers” star Shia LaBeouf was charged with DUI after being involved in a multi-vehicle accident in Hollywood early Sunday morning. The 22-year-old actor was somewhat hurt in the accident, unlike the female passenger in his car and the driver of the other vehicle.

LaBeouf’s rep said in a statement Sunday evening that the young actor was recovering from “extensive hand surgery,” reports People.com. LaBeouf was treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Other than confirming the accident had taken place and reporting on his injuries, spokesperson Melissa Kates also said Shia LaBeouf was planning to return on the set of “Transformers 2” within one month.

“No further comment will be issued at this time,” the statement concluded.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Scott Wolf told the Associated Press that Shia LaBeouf was driving a pickup and when attempting to make a left turn at a West Hollywood intersection, his car collided with the other vehicle and rolled over. The accident occurred at about 3 a.m.

LaBeouf sustained minor injuries to his head and a knee, besides hurting his left hand, according to police.

Shia LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanor DUI and released.

This is not the actor’s first brush-in with the law. Last November, he famously entered a Chicago drugstore and refused to leave when the guard asked him to.

Although inebriated, LaBeouf was “very courteous and polite,” arresting police officers said at the time. He was charged with criminal trespassing. The charge was later dropped, as the store did not wish to pursue the matter.

In February, Shia LaBeouf was cited for smoking in an inappropriate place in Burbank. The judge later dismissed the charge.

Shia LaBeouf proved his stellar Hollywood reputation earlier this summer when “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” opened to positive critical reviews and box office glory.
