Shia LaBeouf is starring in the next Indiana Jones film

The 21-year-old Transformers star had failed to appear in a Californian court on Tuesday to face the charge of lighting up where he shouldn't.

As a result, the judge issued an arrest warrant, which has now been dismissed.

On Wednesday, a lawyer entered the plea on behalf of Mr LaBeouf who will appear again on 24 April. If found guilty, he faces up to six months in jail.

Court documents gave no further details of the circumstances or location of the offence, which also carries a $1,000 (�505) fine.

'Complete insanity'

In November, Mr LaBeouf was arrested for trespassing after he refused to leave a shop in Chicago.

Police were called after a security guard told Mr LaBeouf to leave a branch of the Walgreens drug store because he seemed to be drunk.

The charges were dropped the following month after the chain decided to take no further action.

Speaking this year about the incident, Mr LaBeouf blamed it on "complete and utter insanity".

"There are lessons in life I need to learn, and I'm learning all of them in front of the public," he told UK movie magazine Empire.

The actor will next be seen in Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull alongside Harrison Ford.
