Shia LaBeouf, Pedestrian
Remember that little accident Shia LaBeouf was involved in last July, where he was involved in a wreck which flipped his truck, sent Shia and his buddies to the hospital, and resulted in his arrest for DUI? (And remember when he was arrested at a Chicago Walgreens? And that little smoking incident?) Well, even though he was found not at fault in the accident, the actor has still lost his driver's license for a year because he refused to blow into the tube:
The suspension, which took effect January 17, 2009, is the result of LaBeouf’s “refusal of chemical tests” in the wake of his accident, according to the Department of Motor Vehicles.The suspension will last a minimum of one year.
In September, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office announced there was “insufficient evidence” to charge the “Transformers” with drunken driving for his involvement in the accident, which left his hand badly injured.
The actor was arrested for suspicion of DUI following the crash after showing “physical signs” of being impaired, LA Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Steve Whitmore previously said.
However, at the time, the DA’s office did note LaBeouf’s refusal to take a breathalyzer test could result in a suspension of his license.
Sheriff’s deputies said later that LaBeouf was not at fault in the accident.
Well, couldn't he have just been loopy from the crash or perhaps had an inner ear infection that threw off his sense of balance, I hear Shia fans crying? Uhm, maybe not:
Actor Shia LaBeouf was at the Troubadour club watching the Lemon Son band on Santa Monica Blvd in L.A. Saturday night, a source tells Usmagazine.com."He was dancing around and acting really crazy," the source tells Us. "He kept doing shots of whiskey.
"He stayed until the band was done and then stumbled out of the club by himself," the witness reported.
Shia has recently disclosed that, just like eating potato chips, he has trouble stopping at one:
Over a three-month period in the past year, LaBeouf got into a series of entanglements with the law. Last November, he walked into a Chicago Walgreens to buy cigarettes, had a drunken argument with a security guard, and was arrested for trespassing after refusing to leave the store. In February, he was cited for smoking a cigarette on public property in Burbank, California. A few weeks later an arrest warrant was issued when he failed to appear in court for that charge. "I don't ever remember getting arrested sober. I was always arrested drunk," he says. "It's when I'm drinking that I don't have the wherewithal to be able to realize the position of my life. There's too much at stake for me to throw it away. I enjoy what I'm able to give my family. I enjoy the people that I'm able to wake up and work with. And I don't want to throw away what I've worked so hard for 12 years to achieve, based on an argument that takes place in 20 minutes." [...] Continued on the next page
