Shea LeBeouf Arrested for DUI

It sounds like Shea LeBeouf is doing whatever he can to shake off that squeaky clean image he once had. This past Sunday, Shea was injured in a car accident and also arrested on suspicion of drunk driving that caused the accident.
At 3 A.M. Sunday morning in Hollywood, Shea was involved in a collision and suffered minor injuries to his head and knee but required extensive surgery on his hand. His passenger sustained some minor injuries and so did the driver of the other vehicle. Arresting officers on the scene reported that Shea was showing ‘outward signs of intoxication’ and given that the injuries were considered minor, the charge was a misdemeanor DUI.
His reps are only confirming that an accident has occurred and have said little to nothing about the involvement of alcohol in the accident. Their official word is that he is recovering from surgery and will be returning to the set of Transformers 2 within a months time. And as usual, no further comment at this time.
But this is not the first time that Shea has found himself in trouble with the police in an alcohol related incident. Last November he was taken into custody because he refused to leave a grocery store, and he was believed to be drunk then as well.
Maybe this is one of those situations where he will never learn. Particularly since celebrities are spending approximately 12 minutes in jail every time they get behind the wheel drunk. Time will tell.
