Shia LaBeouf won’t be prosecuted for DUI / DWI in connection with a July crash in Hollywood that seriously injured the actor’s hand.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office decided to drop the charges against LaBeouf because of lack of evidence. The actor refused to take a chemical test after the crash.

Most California DUI attorneys advise against refusing a chemical test after a drunk driving arrest.  LaBeouf’s upcoming California DMV hearing is one reason - the actor faces a one-year driver’s license suspension for refusing the test. And when prosecutors do pursue a DUI case in court, they can use a chemical test refusal as evidence of ‘consciousness of guilt.’
