LABEOUF ARRESTED FOR DUI

Actor SHIA LaBEOUF has reportedly been arrested in Hollywood for driving under the influence (DUI) after he was involved in a car accident.

Shia LeBouf's wrecked Green ford pick up truck in the car inpound after his car accident, Los Angeles, California - 27.07.08

The Transformers star, 21, is alleged to have collided with another vehicle at around 3am on Sunday (27Jul08) at the junction of La Brea and Fountain.

According to website TMZ.com, when police attended to the incident, LaBeouf was reportedly arrested on suspicion of felony DUI after showing "outward signs" of intoxication.

Paramedics were called to the scene and the actor was taken to a local hospital.

LaBeouf is no stranger to the law - in November (07), he was accused of drunken trespassing after refusing to leave a Chicago, Illinois convenience store at 4am, but the misdemeanour charges were subsequently dropped.

Then, in February (08), he was charged with smoking in a prohibited area in California - to which he pleaded guilty and was forced to pay a $500 (GBP250) fine for the offence.

His latest legal woe comes just three months after he vowed never to get arrested again - because he didn't want to hamper his promising film career.

In May (08), he said, "There's nothing cool about getting arrested for stupid stuff at my age. But it keeps happening to me. I could pretend that I find it all highly amusing, but I'd be lying.

"It's deeply embarrassing. I decided a long time ago to stop doing stupid things, so clearly I've still got some work to do on myself. I'm not anonymous any more.

"Now, I light up a cigarette in the wrong place and overnight I'm the Al Capone of misdemeanours. What I've got in terms of acting is too important for me to jeopardise."
