License Suspended for One-Year for “Transformers” Star Shia LaBeouf
Shia LaBeouf who’s been filming “Transformers 2” on the US Navy carrier Stennis off the coast of San Diego has lost his license for one year. The “Indiana Jones” and “Transformers” star had his license suspended for one year which took effect on January 17th. This is following the arrest for suspicion of Driving Under the Influence on July 27th 2008 and refusing to submit to a blood or breath test that is required by law according to the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
This happened when LaBeouf rolled his Ford F-150 while making a left turn at the intersection of La Brea and Fountain striking another car. The actor was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for severe injuries to his left hand which required extensive surgery. LaBeouf’s passenger Isabel Lucas, who will appear with him in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” due out next May was not seriously hurt as well as the driver of the other car. The actor was taken into custody and later released on Misdemeanor DUI charges.
Although there was insufficient evidence to charge the actor, Sheriffs deputies said that LaBeouf was not at fault. Simon Herbert the driver of the other car was later given a citation for running a red light.
A person who has been charged with a DUI in the state of California has 10 days from the date the arrest was made to request a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles, if the hearing is not requested his/her drivers license will be automatically suspended for 30 days after the DUI arrest was made. Second time offenders will receive a one-year license suspension.
