Shia will not face DUI charges for his car accident in July, the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.
“After reviewing the case, we’ve declined to file any charges due to insufficient evidence,” says DA spokeswoman Jane Robison.
“We’re both fine and Shia’s fine as well,” said Isabel Lucas, LaBeouf’s co-star in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, to Access Hollywood.
On July 27, LaBeouf and Lucas were involved in an accident that had the both of them taken to a local hospital.
Reports stating that Shia LaBeouf may have to amputate one of his injured fingers, has been denied by his publicist.
While the actor has had some hand surgery, digit amputation is not on the agenda, according to his publicist, Melissa Kates. “Totally untrue,” she said in an email to The Dish Rag.
Shia LaBeouf’s left hand was “crushed” in a weekend traffic accident and runs the risk of infection, reports People.
“The force of (the) impact immediately flipped Shia’s vehicle over, and, as a result, Shia’s left hand was crushed,” said his attorney Michael Norris in a statement.
Transformers’ Director Michael Bay is also going to bat for his film’s star, Shia LaBeouf, insisting to that the actor wasn’t drunk. This is despite the fact that people saw Shia drinking and police stated that the he showed outward signs of intoxication.
This just in from Access Hollywood:
A witness has come forward in the Shia Labeouf accident and says:
“Shia was tending to the other people in the car, signing over information, like insurance and stuff and basically, I overheard the guy tell him, ‘You should just get out of here and go,’ and Shia said, ‘Nah man. I gotta deal with this. My license plate, it’s my car. I don’t wanna go, I gotta deal with this.’”
At least he did the right thing, after doing the wrong thing.
