Shia refused to go through a Breathalyzer examination, and he was arrested for drunk driving, having his license suspended for a year. Given the injuries he suffered in his hand, he had several surgeries.
On February 5, 2011, he was arrested for taking to the Los Angeles police department after a fight he was in a Tavern bar, where he was punched in the face. On June 2014, he was arrested and was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass for his behavior at the New York’s Studio 54 Theater.
