Rip Torn arrested for alleged bank break-in
by Adam Markovitz
Categories: News

Actor Rip Torn, 79, was arrested Friday night on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing after officials allegedly found him carrying a loaded revolver inside a bank in Salisbury, Conn., according to the Register Citizen newspaper. A police report published on TMZ.com states that Torn used “forced entry” to get inside the bank and was “highly intoxicated” when taken into custody. The actor is being held on a $100,000 cash bond and is set to appear in court on Feb. 1. A rep for Torn did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

In 2007, Torn paid a fine after pleading guilty to a DUI charge in North Salem, N.Y.; he was acquitted of a similar charge in 2004 when a Manhattan jury ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the actor was intoxicated when he got into a minor car collision with a taxi.

I wonder if an updated Rip Torn mugshot will surface soon.

How many people are going to protest Rip Torn's movies now?

Not many. Unless the bank security footage uncovers him slanderizing Jews, this will solely go down as a hilariously sad incident.

I always confuse Rip Torn with Rip Taylor. The stories are always much funnier when I picture it being Rip Taylor that they're about.

Yeah I figured as much. Thanks.

Oh man, that WOULD be funnier.

Oh man, that WOULD be funnier.

It's always disappointing when I realize which one Rip Torn is. I think it would be less of a problem if their names were switched. Rip Taylor really looks more like he'd be named Rip Torn than Rip Torn does.

Sad. I just watched a few minutes of the underrated Walter Hill movie Extreme Prejudice the other day, and Rip Torn kicks some ass in it.

@phillipstribune (http://twitter.com/phillipstribune/status/8499958456) It's a like a sodden celebrity version of "Clue": Rip Torn, in the bank lobby, with a revolver.
