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.

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.’”
