Shia LaBeouf is one lucky bastard! LaBeouf will not be charged with drunken driving for his involvement in a traffic accident that badly injured his hand, but he could have his license suspended because of refusing the breathalyzer test.

Actor Shia LaBeouf of “Eagle Eye”, will not be charged for drunken driving in the traffic incident. But prosecutors are considering charges against two other people involved in the July collision, but would not provide further details.
“Shia is most happy that he will not have to go to court,” said his attorney, Michael Norris.
LaBeouf was arrested July 27 after an early morning crash that injured his hand and sent him to a hospital for several days. Sheriff’s deputies said later that LaBeouf was not at fault in the accident.
The “Transformers” actor faces a traffic hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles which could end in his driver’s license being suspended for up to nine months, Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Thursday.
That hearing was scheduled for Friday. But Norris said he doubts the hearing will take place at that time, and doesn’t think the actor will lose his license.
“I anticipate that once we do have the opportunity to litigate the matter at the DMV that his license will not be suspended,” Norris said. The DMV hearing is not a court hearing and is not open to the public, Norris said.
Whitmore reiterated what police said the day after the crash - that Shia LaBeouf showed signs of being intoxicated the morning of the crash, but refused a breathalyzer test.
“The physical signs led to the arrest,” Whitmore said, adding that the department respects the district attorney’s decision.
It’s good to hear Shia LaBeouf will not be charged for drunken driving, but hopefully learned an important lesson!
