Another young Hollywood star has had a run in with the law. This time it’s former Disney Channel star Shai LaBeouf, who recently appeared in an Indiana Jones flick.

Here’s what Associated Press has to say:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Indiana Jones” co-star Shia LaBeouf was arrested for drunk driving Sunday 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 3 a.m. collision in Hollywood, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. S. Wolf said.

“It was immediately apparent to officers responding on the scene that LaBeouf was intoxicated and he was subsequently placed under arrest,” Wolf said.

LaBeouf and his passenger were injured, as was the other driver. Wolf didn’t know the extent of their injuries.
