Whitmore says deputies are still trying to determine if Herbert was driving his car at the time of the July 27 accident.
Attempts to find a telephone listing for Herbert were not immediately successful.
The 22-year-old LaBeouf's hand was crushed when his truck flipped in the West Hollywood collision. The actor, who has been filming the "Transformers" sequel, spent several days in a hospital.
Herbert's citation was issued Friday.
