Shia LaBeouf arrested

Autobot Spike · 11-06-2007, 01:24 PM

The article said Shia appeared drunk. has anyone got confirmation that he was drunk? all this over an allegation. perhaps there was something he wanted and the people at walgreens were too busy ogling his transformerness that they were unable to perform their jobs. i've been regrettably beligerant before when not getting what i expect, and been the complete opposite of drunk (or i could just have said sober, i suppose). i LOVE how the media approaches these issues for the sensationalism, rather than getting all the facts and then delivering the WHOLE story. i'd rather hear "Shia Lebeuf was arrested for allegedly being durnk at a walgreens. he was later released after it was determined that the people at Walgreens were so starstruck that they couldn't do their jobs, thus enraging Lebeuf who was attempting to leave walgreens before his notoriety attracted too much attention. Shia later apologized to the staff at walgreens, gave them all signed copies of Transformers, and went back to his life which, regrettably, will never be private EVER AGAIN". that's far more interesting than simply "shia was punk in drublic at walgreens. no further information available". oi... sorry for the rant. also... if you watch COPS, you most likely enjoy it. though it's the closest thing to REAL Reality-TV, it's still TV. when violence happens in real life, it's never good. it's only when it's received in our favourite little box, or on a big white screen that it becomes palletable. tv and movie (and video game) violence is designed to pacify our inner demons. let's keep it in the box. life's too short to "take it outside".

Whooaaaa did this thread get sidetracked or what? Should have sprayed it with flameproof matter before I posted it...

ANYWAYS for those who are actually following the story and/or are concerned about our young sprog Shia, here's some slightly more info from the Chicago Tribune. *que 'Perfect Strangers' theme*

Quote:

Actor Shia LaBeouf was hanging out at a trendy River North nightclub known for its celebrity sightings shortly before being arrested early Sunday at a downtown Chicago Walgreens.

LaBeouf, a rising star who is in Chicago to film a movie, was at the Underground nightclub, 56 W. Illinois St., on Saturday night and left about 2 a.m. Sunday, said Maura Daley, a club spokeswoman.

She declined further comment, but added: "His unrelated incident is very unfortunate, and we wish Mr. LaBeouf all the best."

The 21-year-old actor who starred in "Disturbia" and "Transformers" and is the star of the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel, was arrested about 2:25 a.m. in the Walgreens at 757 N. Michigan Ave., police said.

A security guard called police after LaBeouf refused to leave the 24-hour store, said Monique Bond, Chicago police spokeswoman. He was asked to leave several times, she said. The guard signed a complaint, and the actor was cited on a misdemeanor count of trespassing, police said.

"The report does not indicate that he was with a group. [It] appears that he was alone," Bond said. "[There is] no indication of damaging property or interfering with other customers."

LaBeouf, a California resident, was taken to the Near North police district and posted bail about 7 a.m., police said. His next court date is Nov. 28.

Near North District Capt. Randall Zawis said that the actor was well-mannered and polite during the arrest. "Sometimes, people see the error of their ways and come around," Zawis said. "I think he opted for that."

A Walgreens spokeswoman declined Monday to discuss the incident.

Rich Moskal, head of the Chicago film office, said the DreamWorks film doesn't begin shooting in the Chicago area until Tuesday, with production moving downtown on Friday. "Eagle Eye" is scheduled to shoot in Chicago until Nov. 17.

The publicist for "Eagle Eye," starring LaBeouf as a slacker who along with a single mom (Rosario Dawson) unwittingly uncovers a terrorist plot, could not be reached for comment Monday.

News of the arrest quickly spread on celebrity gossip Web sites. Before noon, LeBeouf's mug shut was posted on the Smoking Gun Web site along with those of other celebrities who have been arrested.

During an interview with the Tribune in 2005 to promote "The Greatest Game Ever Played," the then 19-year-old LaBeouf said he wanted to avoid the pitfalls of other young actors and actresses, particularly Lindsay Lohan, whose career has been overshadowed by off-the-set problems, including alcohol abuse.

"There is a different kind of reaction a person gives to Lindsay Lohan than to Anthony Hopkins," LaBeouf said. "I want that. I don't want the other side of it, and I try to stay away from that. I realize the position I'm in and how fast it happened. It's humbling, and it's crazy. I'm going for more than a five-year career here."

Love the last part how he is going for 'more than a five year career.' I for one hope he does, but I have a feeling in a couple of years he'll just fade into obscurity....

Well considering he has been consistently getting work on TV and in movies since 1998 I think he's on the right track.

I have already removed people from this thread and warned one person.
I have no problem with warning others if they wish to continue this childish act.

There will be no further warnings on this matter.

JEEBUZ!!! What the hell did you guys do?!?!?!?

One guy was like "lololol" and the other one was all "not funnis" and other people were like "haha yes it si funnis" and then everyone was all "f u dood, f u" and that's how civilization itself began to unravel

Luckily though, our wonderful moderators cleaned it up

Move along now, move along

I'm sure this was just a misunderstadning and it has been portrayed worse than it is. I hope he does not end up like other young Hollywood celebs and turn into a train wreck.
