Oh, wait, it’s Rip Torn arrested. One name and one word, not three verbs. Here’s a guy who just can’t seem to stay out of trouble.
Veteran character actor Rip Torn, from the Men in Black films among other famous roles, was arrested on Friday night by police in Salisbury, Connecticut. He was discovered in the Litchfield Bancorp building, drunk off his pins and carrying a loaded gun. He set off the alarm at 9:42 PM, well after closing time, but police believe he wasn’t actually trying to break into the bank. They believe Torn was so drunk he thought he was trying to get into his own home.
He’s been arrested for DUIs before, and adding to Rip’s criminal record are charges of carrying a firearm without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree trespassing, and third-degree criminal mischief. He was released on $100,000 bond.
