00:18I was complaining.
00:19You didn't want to complain.
00:20I was. You said, get off the road, get off the road.
00:22No, you didn't.
00:23I did.
00:25For this list, we'll be looking at infamous times that police apprehended celebs.
00:31Which celebrity arrests shocked you the most? Let us know below.
00:38Number ten, Shia LaBeouf.
00:40What am I in custody for?
00:41Man, I've explained it to you like five times.
00:43Explain it to me again, sir.
00:44We don't have a job.
00:47The controversial actor has had several altercations with the police throughout his career.
00:52Now I'm ripping my shirt off and I'm doing push-ups, like, you know, don't mess with me, dog, I'm crazy, you know what I'm saying?
00:57And the guy's like, what are you in here for? And I'm like, cabaret.
01:01But perhaps his most famous was in 2017.
01:05In the early morning in Savannah, Georgia, an intoxicated LaBeouf, who was there to film The Peanut Butter Falcon, approached a stranger and a police officer to ask for a cigarette.
01:16When they didn't give him one, he became enraged, went on a profanity-riddled rant and refused to leave.
01:24As he was arrested, he claimed it was because he was white and said the officer was going to hell because he was black.
01:32The Transformers actor was found guilty of obstruction, fined $1,000, put on probation for a year and had to undergo therapy for anger management and substance abuse.
01:449. Lindsay Lohan
01:46The 24-year-old actress, as you know, was sentenced to 90 days in jail, but how much will she actually serve?
01:52The spring and summer of 2007 was a turning point for the Mean Girls actor, but not in a good way.
01:59You see, that year was the first of several run-ins with the police.
02:03In May, Lohan was arrested for driving under the influence.
02:08In July, around two weeks after going to rehab, she was arrested for driving under the influence again, as well as driving with a suspended license and possession of illegal substances.

02:30As part of it, she had to spend one day in prison, undergo an 18-month alcohol education program, complete 10 weeks of community service and be on probation for three years.
02:48Well, in November, Lohan spent a massive 84 minutes in prison, before being released due to overcrowding.
02:588. Martha Stewart
03:07If you were looking for cozy TV, then Martha Stewart Living was the show for you.
03:13Covering cooking, gardening and whatnot, it helped turn Stewart into a beloved figure.
03:19But in the early 2000s, news broke that the media mogul had taken part in insider trading.
03:27On the advice of a stockbroker, she sold all of her shares in I'm Clone Systems.
03:38By 2004, she faced trial on numerous charges, including obstruction of justice and securities fraud.

03:50She was sentenced to jail for five months and fined $30,000.
03:55Afterward, she had two years of supervised release.
03:58Stewart must have made some friends inside, as she was given the nickname M. Diddy.
04:137. DMX
04:15If there was an award for musicians with the most legal battles, this New York rapper would be in the running.
04:26Over the years, he's faced charges of animal cruelty, using illegal substances, robbery and much more.
04:34But his biggest legal clash was probably in 2017.
04:38DMX was charged with a whopping 14 counts of tax fraud and pleading guilty to a single count.
04:45Although prosecutors were looking for a five-year sentence, the judge took pity on the rapper and sentenced him to prison for one year.

06:12In 2001, when out on parole, Downey was found wandering around barefooted and arrested again.

06:25Downey pled no contest to the Palm Springs charges.
06:28He avoided jail but was given three years of probation and ordered to go to rehab.
06:34Downey later said this moment led to him realizing he needed help.
