Indiana Jones co-star Shia LaBeouf was arrested for drunk driving yesterday after an early morning car accident in which he was injured, police said.
LaBeouf was the driver of a vehicle that was involved in a 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 LaBeouf 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 been working 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 that LaBeouf has been in trouble for public intoxication.
In November, LaBeouf was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after a drunken tirade in a Chicago Walgreens 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 yesterday, neither was a message left with attorney Michael Norris, who has previously represented LaBeouf.
