LaBeouf smoking charges dismissed

Shia LaBeouf appears in the next Indiana Jones film with Harrison Ford

Charges against actor Shia LaBeouf for breaking a smoking ban have been dismissed by a Californian judge.

Last month the 21-year-old Transformers star pleaded not guilty to the charge, after a judge issued a $1,000 (�505) warrant for his arrest.

The warrant, which was later dismissed, was put in place when the star failed to appear at a court hearing.

No further details were given of the alleged offence or location. The star's lawyer was not available for comment.

If LaBeouf had been found guilty, he could have faced up to six months in jail.

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