NEW YORK (Reuters) - Emmy award winning actor Rip Torn, who has had a recurring role in the NBC hit "30 Rock," has been arrested after police found him intoxicated and armed inside a Connecticut bank at the weekend.
Entertainment | Television | People
Torn, 78, was being held on $100,000 bond after state police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bank in Salisbury, the Connecticut town where the actor lives, and found him inside the closed bank "with a loaded revolver" and "highly intoxicated," according to a police report issued on Saturday.
He was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief and weapons charges.
Torn, who won an Emmy for "The Larry Sanders Show" in 1992, has most recently appeared in several episodes of "30 Rock" as network head Don Geiss. He starred in the hit film "Men in Black" and its sequel, as well as scores of other films and television shows over six decades.
He was nominated for an Oscar for "Cross Creek" in 1983, two years before his wife, Geraldine Page, won the Best Actress Oscar.
Torn, a cousin of actress Sissy Spacek, has been arrested several times in recent years for drunken driving and received a fine, license suspension or probation. He was also acquitted of one charge.

Some people can't handle their alcohol.

Hey, let's get all liquored-up and go knock over this bank.............HEY, WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYBODY?

Saw this on the morning news. All I could think of was, "Thank God he doesn't live in Florida." ::)
-
I wonder where his drinkin' buddies ended up... :o
Another story I heard on the radio (can't find it in print) said that police found his boots and pants near the broken window where he entered. Torn claimed that he thought he was in his house, not a bank....
...if he dodges jail time on this, then we'll see a rash of pantsless bank robbers across the nation.....
...gee...thanks, Elmore.... ::)

Hell, if I live to see 78 I'd be almost proud to say I got liquored up eough to think dropping trou and sticking up a bank was a good idea (leaving out the fact that it was empty part of course). ;D At the very least, it ought to keep the guys on the cell block amused. ::)
FQ13 who is +10 with the rabbit on this. Good to know Fl. doesn't attract ALL the weirdness
