Shia LaBeouf was arrested for drunk driving after being involved in an early morning car accident in Hollywood on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.
LaBeouf was driving when his car was involved in a collision around 3 a.m., according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. S. Wolf.
Both LeBeouf, who recently co-starred in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and his passenger were injured – as was the other driver involved in the crash. Wolf said he didn't know the extent of their injuries.
Officers who were at the scene of the accident reported it was clear to them that LaBeouf was intoxicated. It is not know whether the actor will face felony or misdemeanor charges.

Shia probably just drank two Mike's Hard Lemonade and that got him shitfaced. He definitely looks like a light weight to me.
Good thing he didnt kill anyone.

What a fucking idiot.
I thought his little arrest at Walgreens was embarrassing enough... But this just takes the cake. With all the money they have, I don't understand why they can't get a driver to take them home. I have never got a DUI, noir will I ever get one. I'm truly disappointed in Shia LaBeouf. What a loser.

I'm not saying boo-hoo for the poor actors, I'm saying that their personal problems don't need to be taking up time on the news when there are much more interesting things out there to report. Imagine if every single DUI case in the world had an article written about it. How fucking stupid would that be? Let the police handle it. Seriously, the last LaBeouf story was that he was arrested for hanging around too long in a Walgreens. WHO FUCKING CARES. That's the dumbest fucking story I've ever heard.

Shia committing a crime that thousands of people commit each day is terrible, don't get me wrong, but there are much bigger issues going on right now. Let's just hope he has learned from this mistake and continues to make good and entertaining films like he has been doing. There's no sense bitching about it like he just killed your entire family.

I'd like to know his blood alcohol level. I know the law is the law, but there is that fine line where people lay off drinking before they get drunk cause they know they have to drive, function totally fine but still blow drunk by a point or two. I've known people to have a couple of margarita's while at a place like Chili's, eat dinner and still get a DUI. I totally am against drinking and driving... I did it once in my early 20's and will never do it again...didnt get caught and noone was hurt, but I still felt bad about it... but i'm definately not above it I guess. All I'm saying is there is that fine line...
The Postmaster General
07-27-2008, 06:56 PM
At least no one was hurt. From the story, it doesn't even make clear if the accident was his fault.
People give so much shit about drinking and driving like it's something you are not supposed to do and to that I say "Bullshit! Why do they make keychains that are also bottle openers?"
Imagine if every single DUI case in the world had an article written about it. How fucking stupid would that be?
Well, let's run with that logic and ask what if it was reported every time someone got a job or showed up for work, or got signed on to a project at work.
Please, I beg that you tell and explain the purpose of the celeb talk/gossip forum.
"Indiana Jones star Shitty LaButt woke up and went to work today. People said he looked in good spirits."
No, THAT would be fucking stupid.

If you get behind the wheel of a vehicle and you are drunk, whether you are the biggest star in Hollywood or some yutz that bags groceries at the local Stop and Shop,
You are:
An asshole for endangered the lives of others (cause you obviously don't give a crap about your own)
A danger to others that needs to be remedied (license revoked, not suggesting anything physically violent)
I've argued a million times about how some people can handle their liquor and they can drive well cause they're only a little buzzed.
When you've lost friends because some asshole drunk driver killed them, it kinda makes that argument moot.
ANYTHING that takes your attention away while driving (the effects of alcohol, cell phones, idiotic conversations) makes you a freakin' hazard on the roadways and an asshole for creating such a distraction to cause such an accident.
I have lost a friend to drunk driving and when I hear about these Hollywood stars getting busted for DUI's, it certainly does piss me off.
Shia LaBouf is an asshole who thankfully didn't kill anyone, but he could've. And that's what pisses me off. Not taking that into account before getting behind the wheel of that fucking car. Not thinking about other people's lives, their families and the friends that will miss them because you believe you can handle it.
I'm sorry if I pissed off anyone and it's not directed towards anyone inparticular.
There are just no valid explanations for doing what this kid did.
Not when you've seen someone you care about die because of it.

It's not that really but what pisses me off is that he's living the life that most people would kill for and he then goes ahead and gets drunk and crashes his car with others in it. He isn't worth a director's time or effort if he pulls shit like that. If I were a director, I would flat out refuse to work with him if he pulled that shit. I really hope that Steven Spielberg reads about this news and refuses to work with him ever again because what Shia did is fucking pathetic.

There's a difference between driving after you've been doing tequila shots all night, and driving 45 minutes after you made a wedding toast. Both are considered driving while intoxicated.
The police need more presence on the road, monitoring traffic, and less time arresting people in the emergency room.

Is this happening more frequently?
The Postmaster General
07-28-2008, 05:19 PM
It seems like it. I'm referring more to there already being an accident and the police finding the intoxicated party after the fact. Ideally, none of the arrests would take place after the fact. The lack of police presence on the road is a pretty big cliche at this point. ("where are they when you need them?") Think of how often you see a car, and you say "That person must be drunk." Then think of how often you've seen someone get a sobriety test on the side of the road.
Overall, I wish the police could rely more on monitoring driving habits (?) and less on random stops, hospital reports, and checkpoints. I think it would cut back on a lot of accidents. They need to increase penalties for repeat offenders, and I'd say also use breathalyzers a bit more in the judgement process - someone blowing a 3.2 and pulled over for swerving shouldn't be sentenced the same as someone blowing a .09 who fell asleep in a parking lot. Yet they are.

(From WWTDD) (http://www.wwtdd.com/post.phtml?pk=9871)
We're getting closer and closer to the day when a celebrity actually kills someone while driving high or drunk or both. The people of L.A. need to know that their lives are expendable according to the cops, who have made it clear that celebrities are above the law. The latest incident happened Saturday night at 3am, when Shia LaBeouf, 22, caused a two-car collision after he pulled in front of a car while making a left turn. His Ford F-150 was struck and flipped onto its roof. No one was seriously injured but Shia had extensive surgery on his left hand early Sunday morning and was booked on suspicion of felony DUI. TMZ says:
A witness tells us he heard a loud crash around 245 AM, then the sound of Shia's truck rolling over. The witness said he heard what he thought was a girl screaming "F**k," among other things. When he got down to scene, Shia was already out of the car and the female riding with him was crawling out of the drivers side of the truck. The truck was smoking, making noise and still running. The driver of the other car was also out of the car by this time. Shia and the female stood over by a wall while people were checking to see if everyone was okay. The witness said unlike most of the wrecks he's seen in the dangerous intersection, no one was cursing or yelling at each other. It took the cops 4-5 minutes to arrive at the scene. Two ambulances -- along with one fire truck -- showed up, and all parties involved walked to an ambulance unassisted. There were no breathalyzers or tests done at the scene.
Of course the charges against Shia have already been reduced from felony DUI to misdemeanor DUI. Based on every other case of celebrities breaking the law in L.A. by the time this is done he’ll be ticketed for illegal parking.

I'm just saying up until now, I didn't know any details other than he got a DUI. Regardless of his alcohol level, he caused the accident. Cutting in traffic is bad, but again - maybe a wall was blocking his view. Apparently that's not the first accident to happen there. Maybe his bad. I understand why people have strong feelings against drunk driving, but I also understand why the founder of MADD claims it's turned into a witch hunt against alcohol. I'm not going to call for this guy's head just because he got a drunk driving arrest. I only know him from one movie, much less for his propensity to endanger lives.
"A witness tells us he heard a loud crash around 245 AM, then the sound of Shia's truck rolling over. The witness said he heard what he thought was a girl screaming "F**k," among other things."

we could easily be talking about what a tragic loss of life it was if he died in a car accident because of driving while drunk . i don't think these young hotshots , and even older veteran celebrities realize how dangerous it is to do this .
just get a fekkin chaeffeur already, he could hook someone up with a cushy job :) . what would it cost , a year's salary would cost him 1/8th of his paycheck , nah make that 1/16th of the amount he makes on one film . they best wake up , or else it will be even more serious next time .

You're right, and I'm not calling for people to boycott his movies. It's just too bad that he's yet another Hollywood dipshit. Clearly his first drunken arrest didn't teach him anything, and he's too damn stupid to call a cab or just not drive drunk.

Well he was arrested on "suspicion of drunk driving", and:
Officers who attended the scene booked LaBeouf for driving under the influence, saying he showed "obvious signs of intoxication from the smell of alcohol coming from his breath". He has yet to be formally charged.

It's not that it's his job to be a role model or to set an example. Why he is getting called out as a dumbass is because if he did get arrested, he would be all over the news and look like an asshole to a lot of people.
He's an example by proxy, really. It's like being a CEO and doing coke off a hookers tits - that's not good, but slightly worse than say, a coke dealer doing it, because the CEO would have more to lose, so he should do better. More people are watching him to not do that sort of thing.

Thats just not true Lindsey. One drink of beer can put alcohol on your breath. People who are trained to detect that shit know all sorts of little tell tale signs. You are saying one beer won't give you the breath, but I ask what situation you are observing this in - in a bar with a cigarette in your mouth after a couple shots, or after you've been cruising around in your nonsmoking cop car all night drinking coffee.
I presume something in between.
Let's just wait until his BAL to come back. We found out he likes to drink, not have sex with children. The lynch party can wait.

Exactly, if you have one drink of beer or wine or whatever and don't thoroughly rinse out your mouth with water (or wait a fair while), a breathometer is going to say your over the limit, i don't the the exact deal with it, but it's not exactly always accurate with your b/a content level. People have been arrested dui for eating too much salt n vinegar chips or cherry ripes for fecks sake! It's bad, but it doesn't matter cause kids will hear not to drink and drive.
Plus what really sucks is that the bastard who ran the red light just cock blocked Shia. Ouch!

It's not that it's his job to be a role model or to set an example. Why he is getting called out as a dumbass is because if he did get arrested, he would be all over the news and look like an asshole to a lot of people.
He's young. He did something stupid. Hopefully he accepts responsibility and the consequences of his actions, learns from his mistake and moves on.
Now if this becomes a problem and he doesn't learn from his mistake then we can villify him. Until then though, I think everyone should just move on.

Poor choice of words. I meant, um, I'm not sure what I meant. It's still very early in the morning and I'm not fully awake yet.
Just saying this doesn't make him a bad or evil guy or anything. Just young and hopefully he learns and grows from this horrible experience.
And that's if he was drunk. From above you guys are making it sound like he wasnt even that drunk.
But if he was I think it's pretty funny that he almost could have gotten away with his DUI but didn't because of a crash that he wasn't even the cause of. Now THAT'S ironic. :D

Check out this shit! According to producers, Shia's absense is costing the studio a ton of money due to changes in the scheduling and scene shooting. If I were Shia, I wouldn't be able to fucking sleep knowing that I'm causing so much misery for people. He'd better fucking shape up after this because his career hangs by a thread now, they're not playing anymore.

Considering Shia wasn't the cause of the accident, and he couldn't have done anything to prevent it, I don't see why the studio would completely blame him for this problem. Yes, it's a pain in the ass, but Shia couldn't have done anything. If he had had one beer, ten beer, or no beer at all, he would still be in the same situation.

This is why I make an example out of Paris Hilton. I don't care about her, but the fact that she'll never have to work at real job EVER and wastes her infinite $$$ by making an ass-bitch-clown of herself in the tabloids infuriates me. If she just kept her "I can have everything I want" life her business, and if the media stayed out of her business, things would be better. All she has to do is sit in a room with everything she could possibly want and never lift a finger.
Unlike her, Shia has talent. He has money in the back, has connections with top people in Hollywood, and may potentially never have to work at real job for the rest of his life. And if he keeps acting drunk at drugstores and on the street, he may - God forbid - have to work at real job and be bossed around.
I'm trying really hard here not to make judgment call on him, and just on these two mistakes. Don't screw this up for yourself, man.

I didn't make fun of his name because it's "cool" or "not cool" (if you were being sarcastic). I'm making fun of it, because it's fucking atrocious.
On contrast, to have a name like Jack Smith is atrociously boring IMO. His name means "gift from God" and it's easy to pronounce. His Cajun last name is not that easy, I agree, but don't you think it's disrespectful to his father's family to change it only because you have problems with it? And didn't times when folks like Kirk Douglas and Tony Curtis had to Anglicized their Jewish names pass already? What does it got to do with DUI anyway?
Shia, remember, Jewish guys and alcohol never mix as good as Jewish guys and Nobel Prizes & Oscars... Just stay fucking sober most of the time!

I agree with you. If I went to Chilis and and had two presidente margaritas and go t pulled over I'd be fucked if the cop felt like being a douche and giving me a breathalizer. However, I know that I could drink about 5 of those things before I even got tipsy. The accident was NOT HIS FAULT. The only other incident we've heard of was the whole drunk drug store thing,which while juvenile, wasn't a ig deal.The guy is young and if that's the worse thing he's done then, that's not too bad.

In your earlier post you acted like it would be totally outrageous and uncalled for if a police officer pulled you over and gave you a breathalizer, after you had been drinking alcohol.
How many adults said "I know my limit" before crashing their car, possibly injuring or killing someone? Too many to count. It's a stupid thing to say.

Hey, buddy, the point is not that many people die in drunk driving accidents. The point is that many of those people probably said something like "I know my limits" before getting into a crash. Many people insist they're sober even if they are over the legal limit. That's the point.

First of all calling me buddy doesn't make you seem any less patronizing, second of all I'm very aware of all of those people who make stupid decisions. However, general rule of thumb is that three alcoholic beverages equals a DUI. All police officers are not good and holy, so if one of those particular asshole ones want to bust you, they will and can. They don't have to take into consideration that they pulled you over for a broken tail light, not because you were driving unsafely, or worse case scenario, running down pedestrians.

Whose rule is that? What if it's someone who has never had an alcoholic beverage before? What if they're 17 years-old and 90 pounds? What if they're 45 years-old and 300 pounds?
All police officers are not good and holy, so if one of those particular asshole ones want to bust you, they will and can. They don't have to take into consideration that they pulled you over for a broken tail light, not because you were running down pedestrians.
I never said all police officers are good and holy. I live in Chicago. I am fully aware of bad cops.
But if you have three drinks and choose to drive, and a cop pulls you over and decides to give you a breathalizer, well, tough shit man. You put yourself in that position and have nobody to blame but yourself. If he smells alcohol on you, he should give you a breathalizer. That's his job.

I just got off a 13 hour shift at the hospital so I'm tired. :p. Don't think we couldn't go back and forth all day. All I'm saying is that those machines don't measure tolerance, and yes if I get in the car after two for ones at Chili's and get pulled over, I am putting myself in that situation. However, I'm not going to pat someone on the back for getting to fill their quota for the month either.
Relatedly, I had to stay so long because one of my patients was suffering from severe ETOH withdrawals. Bastard just couldn't hold his liquor.
Seriously, I think many people who end up either injuring or killing people know they're fucked up. They either A. Don't want to admit it to save face, or B. Hope and Pray thy get home safe. Many of us have been at that crossroads where the next beer or martini is the dealbreaker.
