COURT SNUFFS OUT BENCH WARRANT FOR ACTOR LABEOUF

A court commissioner in Burbank, Calif., recalled a $1,000 bench warrant for Shia LaBeouf on Wednesday after the actor's attorney arrived a day late to plead not guilty on LaBeouf's behalf to illegally smoking.

LaBeouf, 21, was not in the courtroom when attorney Michael Norris entered the plea for the misdemeanor offense before Commissioner Kirkland Nyby. A pretrial hearing was set for April 24, says Superior Court rep Allan Parachini.
