After being accused of trespassing in November for refusing to leave a Chicago, Illinois convenience store at 4 A.M., Shia LaBeouf has vowed never to get arrested again.
Lucky for him, those misdemeanor charges were dropped. Then in March, a warrant issued for LaBeouf after failing to turn up to court to face a charge of smoking in a prohibited area in California. The star eventually pleaded guilty to the charges and landed a $500 fine for the offense.
With a promising career on the horizon, it’s smart LaBeouf stays away from trouble.
He says,
There’s nothing cool about getting arrested for stupid stuff at my age. But it keeps happening to me. I could pretend that I find it all highly amusing, but I’d be lying. It’s deeply embarrassing. I decided a long time ago to stop doing stupid things, so clearly I’ve still got some work to do on myself. I’m not anonymous any more. Now, I light up a cigarette in the wrong place and overnight I’m the Al Capone of misdemeanors. What I’ve got in terms of acting is too important for me to jeopardize.

LaBeouf seems like a sincere fellow, oft-misquoted but sincere nonetheless
