Transformers & Eagle Eye actor Shia LaBeaouf escapes easy after a DUI crash which wasn’t rules his fault.  Does anyone really care if it wasn’t his fault?  Why did they not charge him for the DUI?  You know damn well as average citizens would’ve gotten cited and/or been jailed.  Just another example of a celebrity getting preferential treatment in Hollywood… we should just get use to it.

Shia LaBeouf Arrested for DUI

Updated 8/1/08
There are reports that Shia LaBeouf is not at fault for the accident that resulted in his DUI arrest.  Apparently, another car ran a red light at the intersection where the car accident occurred.  Regardless of who was at fault, Shia could be facing jail time for the offense and/or will see some time in a courtroom w/ his lawyers.

LaBeouf also had numerous surgeries on his hand, which the Transformers 2 star injured in the accident.  Production on the movie has halted due to the visible cast/coverings on his hands.  Also involved in the accident was a co-star in the new movie (not Megan Fox).  Umm… what were they doing driving around at 3AM together?

Today’s “stud” actor, Shia LaBeouf, was arrested for a DUI early Sunday morning at the scene of a crash, involving his Ford F-150 truck. LaBeouf, who starred in the summer’s Indiana Jones movie and is working on Transformers 2 (he starred in #1 also), has everything going his way - until today.

Let’s hope that Shia will learn from these mistakes and quit thinking that he’s invincible. Sure, he can buy a nice house, new cars and score w/ just about any woman between 15-40, but he’s gotta start acting like an adult, otherwise, he’s going to be screwed. If he fails to improve his attitude and his decision making, he’s going to end up in the same place many other promising Hollywood actors are - DEAD. Whether it is drinking and driving, drug use or suicide, it would seem that all the signs are there for this kid.

His family and/or career advisors need to put their foot down and get LaBeouf into a rehab facility or into reality. An actor of his stature should not be drinking & driving at 3AM in the morning. Where are his people when he’s out that late?
