Access Hollywood - March 19, 2008 12:24 PM PDT

BURBANK, Calif. -- One day after a warrant was issued for his arrest, Shia LaBeouf sent his lawyer to court to clear the air.

Attorney Michael Norris appeared in a Burbank, Calif., court on Wednesday morning and entered a not guilty plea on Shia's behalf to a charge of unlawful smoking.

Shia, the star of "Transformers" and "Indiana Jones," was cited by Burbank police on February 18 for allegedly smoking on the sidewalk outside of a gift shop in downtown Burbank.

A $1,000 bench warrant had been issued for Shia, after neither he nor his lawyer appeared in court on Tuesday.

The next hearing for the actor is set for April 24.

    people need to leave him alone. I mean there is no law saying that you cant smoke outside. I mean the courts need to realize that before thry do smothing stupid. California needs to realize that they are not there own country. they are a state, and thing more!

    If he was inside and lit up, I could understand. But if he was just standing to close to the door, and he was outside... they should have just asked him to move. Then if he refused, then he should get the ticket. I also like the word Commifornia. and the President lives in Washington, Dictatorship of the Country.

    I wish other states would adopt that law! I am tired of walking into public places being forced to breathe in someones nasty second hand smoke. Our children shouldn't have to suck down those toxins either. It is very inconsiderate to those who actually care about their health and opt to not smoke. FYI it isn't only Democrats that are for this.

    Smoke but move you a@@ away from the flipping door. Hey right no one said having sex with children was ok...get real. Be responsible and follow the law if you don't like the laws talk to the people you vote for. That is why you put them in office. A law is a law is a law. Everyone should follow them and if you think the law is foolish instead of bit@hing go through the steps to change

    he couldn't smoke there because he wasn't far enough away from the entrance of the shop. it's the law, even celebrities have to follow it too.

    Only in California. They're the reason people hate Democrats. Wish they'd get off my side, & just declare communism.
