12 Times That Shia LaBeouf Made An Absolute Ass Of Himself

11. Goes To A Pharmacy Drunk, Arrested For Refusing To Leave (November 2007)

The actor then kept his nose clean for almost three years, before trouble came his way again, this time after a night out drinking. LaBeouf was in a Chicago branch of the pharmacy Walgreens, when a security guard asked him to leave, at which point he refused and was arrested for misdemeanor criminal trespassing. LaBeouf opened up about the incident on David Letterman, explaining he was "pretty wasted", and went to the store to get a pack of cigarettes and pimple cream for his forehead. However, he forgot to buy the cigarettes twice in succession, resulting in a third visit to the store in mere minutes, and having changed his clothes between each visit, he drew the suspicions of the security guards. They cuffed him and took him down, but the charges were eventually dropped when nobody could apparently be bothered to keep pursuing the case. LaBeouf facetiously commented on the incident, "Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping ... it's just as bad."
