Shia LaBeouf, who has recently starred in the blockbuster Indian Jones’ movie, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has once again had a run in with the law. For a relative newcomer to Hollywood he sure is racking up the arrests. His latest police snafu puts him in the ever coveted DUI club.

Stoked on his rising stardom, and of course some booze, Shia attempted to take a left turn going the speed of a transformer resulting in a crash with another vehicle, flipping his truck over. The fender bender took place at around 3 am Sunday morning. According to Sergeant Wolfe of Los Angeles County, “It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest.”

An unknown woman passenger and the people in the other car were uninjured, walking away with minor bumps and bruises, while LaBeouf himself sustained injuries to his knee, hand and possibly his head. He is being charged with misdemeanor DUI rather than felony DUI because no one else was seriously injured. Shia himself ended up having to have extensive surgery to his injured hand, resulting in a month long delay of his filming for the Transformer sequel. He is reportedly still in the hospital, where he was cited for the drunk driving.

No one should really be surprised that he has graduated to a DUI. In the past the young star has been in trouble for wielding a knife against a neighbor and being wasted at a Walgreens. Maybe he’s just trying to fit in to the whole Hollywood scene. After all, you’re nobody in young Hollywood unless you’ve been arrested. And DUI seems to be the fashionable thing to do. Maybe a stint in rehab is in his future. If that is the case, then he’s got it made in the shade.
