娱乐英语新闻："Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf not to be charged for DUI

BEIJING, Sept. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- L.A. County District Attorney's Office decided not to file charges against "Transformers" star Shia LaBeouf for DUI in connection with the July 27 car accident that crushed his hand, according to media reports Friday.

    "After reviewing the case, we've declined to file any charges due to insufficient evidence," said D.A. spokeswoman Jane Robison.

Prosecutors instead planed to file criminal charges against the other driver, who was found to have run a red light, Robison added.

    LaBeouf and his passenger, "Transformers 2" costar Isabel Lucas, were both taken to Cedars by ambulance after the crash. Lucas was released later that day after being treated for minor injuries.

    The 22-year-old actor was cited with misdemeanor DUI while he was still at the hospital.

    Although the D.A. rejected the case, LaBeouf still faces a DMV hearing and the possible suspension of his driver's license.

    "When an individual refuses to take a blood alcohol test, that person's license is automatically suspended for six to nine months," says L.A. County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

    LaBeouf is not required to attend and will not be, according to his attorney Michael Norris.
