The charges against actor Shia LaBeouf have been dropped.
The twenty-one-year-old Transformers' star was given a citation for unlawfully smoking on a sidewalk outside of a gift shop in Burbank, CA on Feb. 18, and after failing to appear in court on March 18th, a $1000 bench warrant had been issued for his arrest.
The day after his missed court date, LaBeouf’s lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, and the charges were dropped on the condition that Shia pay a $500 fine.
Which just goes to show that smoking really is a costly habit. Maybe next time he’ll think twice before lighting-up. Or at least make sure he sends someone to attend his court date ontime.
