Shia's Beefy Boozing Story

shia-labeouf-mug-shot.jpgMonday night, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star Shia LeBeouf humorously recounted on The Late Show the circumstances behind his November arrest at a Chicago Walgreens last November. He told David Letterman how the trouble began from having too much of the ol’ “magic sauce,” then thrice marching from his hotel to Walgreens (we remember it being the one at Michigan and Chicago Ave.) to buy cigarettes, getting distracted by acne cream and gummy bears, and his swelling drunken frustration, which ultimately led to a scuffle with the Walgreens security guard and a misdemeanor criminal trespassing charge.

LaBeouf quipped, “Drinking and driving is one thing, but drinking and shopping … it’s just as bad.”

Yeah, we would have to add to that list: drinking and sex, drinking and gambling, and drinking and Jenga.
