So far, it appears that massive success has not agreed
with
Shia LaBeouf. The 22-year-old
Transformers star was arrested this morning
after an auto accident because he showed "outward signs" of intoxication.
TMZ reports that as a result of the accident,
LaBeouf also severely injured his left hand, which may require surgery. He's
expected to be in the hospital "for a while," and he been given a citation for
misdemeanor DUI.
There was apparently a female passenger in LaBeouf's truck, who
avoided major injuries, as did the driver of the other vehicle. According to
reports, at around 3am this morning, Shia was making an illegal left turn,
causing a collision with an oncoming vehicle with his monster green Ford F150 truck. The
resulting impact flipped the truck over. That's quite a shot.
Take a look for yourself:
As for the citation, the charge was deemed a misdemeanor because there were no serious injuries to the other parties involved. Had they been hurt badly, this would've been bumped to a felony DUI, which in California, carries with it a sentence of 41 minutes in jail.
It's Shia's third minor brush with the law in the past year, and that's two more than a guy with a head planted firmly on his shoulders should get. The Walgreen's incident was truly bizarre, the smoking on a public sidewalk charge or whatever it was was laughable, but this steps it up a notch. Listen, Toys R Us kid, it's time to grow up. Drinking and driving isn't funny, and you've got too bright a future ahead of you to jeopardize it like this.
