Indiana Jones star Shia LaBeouf runs into trouble with the law

28/07/2008 9:28:00 AM.  | 
Indiana Jones co-star Shia LaBeouf was arrested for drunk driving after an early morning car accident in which he was injured, police say.

LaBeouf was the driver of a vehicle involved in a Saturday 3am collision at a street intersection in Hollywood, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department sergeant S Wolf said.

LaBeouf and his passenger were injured, as was the other driver; Wolf said the extent of the injuries are unknown at this time.

"It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest," Wolf said.

Wolf said it is unknown whether the 22-year-old actor will face felony or misdemeanour charges.

"That is being hammered out right now," Wolf said.

LaBeouf has been working as an actor for 10 years, and starred on the Disney Channel show Even Stevens.

In recent years, LaBeouf has worked on action movies, with a star turn in last year's blockbuster, Transformers, and a role opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The arrest marks the second time in a year LaBeouf has been in trouble for public intoxication.

In November, LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanour criminal trespassing after a drunken tirade in a Chicago Walgreen drug store.

After the incident, LaBeouf told TV talk show host David Letterman: "Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping ... it's just as bad."

Prosecutors later dropped charges because Walgreen Co and a security company indicated they did not want to continue the case.

Messages left with two of LaBeouf's publicists were not immediately returned on Sunday, neither was a message left with lawyer Michael Norris, who has previously represented LaBeouf.
