The 24-year-old "The Fault in Our Stars" star was recently involved in a peaceful protest against the proposed pipeline plans, which aims to transport crude oil from the North Dakota Bakken region through South Dakota and Iowa into Illinois, crossing the Missouri River.
The "Divergent" star was among 100 protesters who turned up to the construction site to campaign for a different route to be made that doesn't disrupt the clean water in the river.
But the star isn't letting the arrest get her down, as she's recently spoken out in support of those continuing to protest, and has urged US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to "stand up" against the proposed plans, reported New York Daily News.
Speaking on "Late Night with Seth Meyers", the star said: "This is the first time that you have this many tribes gathered in one place, standing together united to stand up for not only their rights, but human rights. I think what would benefit Hillary Clinton's campaign is if she used opportunities like the pipeline being built."
"That is beautiful, but that is not a win. A win is when they say 'We are not moving this pipeline to some other location, to affect clean water, but we are going to stop it and fix it'."
Shailene will face a court hearing for her charges on October 24, and could face up to 60 days in jail plus a whopping USD 3,000 fine.
