The 21-year-old actor was reluctantly handled by security guards at a downtown Walgreens at 757 N. Michigan Ave. Around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, Chicago police arrested him due to his unwillingness to leave the store.

Chicago police said a security guard excessively told LaBeouf he wasn’t welcome and had to leave because he appeared to be drunk. LaBeouf refused and a guard called the cops.

Once the cuffs went on, police said LaBeouf was “very courteous and polite”. Police said he posted bond before 7 a.m. on Sunday. He is a resident of Glendale, Calif.

LaBeouf, who was charged with a misdemeanor for criminal trespassing, is slated to appear in court in on Nov. 28 at 9 a.m.

He was in Chicago to film a movie. IMDb only lists him as having two projects in the works: “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” and “Eagle Eye”.

8:16 a.m. update on 11/6/07: Shia LaBeouf’s official mugshot from this Chicago arrest has surfaced online.

Shia LaBeouf blames pimple for Walgreens arrest

As a follow up to this story, this just in from the World Entertainment News Network as posted on Starpulse.com:

Shia LaBeouf blames his drunken trespassing arrest in November on an unexpected pimple on his forehead.

He says, “I got pretty drunk and needed some cigarettes, and on my way down the elevator, I’m feeling my forehead and I feel this pimple. So I go into Walgreens and I go to the cosmetic aisle and get some pimple cream and I see a security guard and he’s looking at me… and he’s kind of giggling to himself. I’m starting to feel like, ‘Look, it’s really not that funny.’”

  • La Haine

    CHICAGO – With NATO protests about to descend on Chicago, “La Haine” seems to have as much power as it did on its release almost twenty years ago. It is a visceral, draining experience about class struggles, increased diversity in Paris, economic inequality, and unchanneled rage. In other words, it’s a perfect choice for a Criterion Blu-ray upgrade as the Occupy Movement prepares to descend on the Windy City.

  • One for the Money Blu-ray

    CHICAGO – With each passing year, Katherine Heigl’s claims about Judd Apatow’s sexism appear increasingly absurd. While Apatow is producing A-grade work from female filmmakers, such as “Bridesmaids” and HBO’s “Girls,” Heigl is portraying shallow ditzes who are susceptible to chauvinistic, overgrown adolescents. “The Ugly Truth,” “Killers,” “Life as We Know It” and “New Years Eve” is not a track record worth bragging about.
