CHICAGO - Shia LaBeouf no longer faces criminal charges for refusing to leave a downtown drugstore last month.
The 21-year-old “Transformers” star was in a Chicago courtroom for only minutes Wednesday before prosecutors said they had received a letter from Walgreen Co. and a security company saying they didn’t want to continue the case.
LaBeouf, unshaven and wearing a black jacket, didn’t speak but smiled at the news. He was charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing after being arrested at about 2:30 a.m. Nov. 4.
Police said a security guard told LaBeouf, of Glendale, Calif., that he needed to leave the Walgreens store because he appeared to be drunk, but he refused. Police didn’t administer a sobriety test because LaBeouf wasn’t driving a vehicle.
After the hearing, LaBeouf evaded reporters and fans.
“All I can tell you is we’re grateful and he’s on his way back to work and so am I,” said Terry Gillespie, one of the lawyers who represented the actor.
LaBeouf co-stars with Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” due in theaters next year.
