Rip Torn Mug Shot - 2006

Drunk actor Elmore “Rip” Torn was arrested by the Connecticut State Police for breaking into a bank on Friday night.  The Litchfielf Bancorp building was the target of the plastered Torn and while breaking-in, he set off an alarm which notified the authorities.  When pounced-on by police, was found to be carrying a loaded revolver (did I happen to mention that he was extremely intoxicated?).

He was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.

78 year old Rip is no stranger to police and the whole arrest experience – in December 2008 – he was arrested for drunken driving and then later escaped from jail.

Before that he was arrested twice in New York for drunk driving in which he was acquitted by a jury in 2004 and plead guilty in 2007 to boozing-it-up behind the wheel.

When not drinking an abundance of alcohol and getting arrested, Rip Torn has a job as an actor.  He has had roles in the movie “Dodgeball”, a number of appearances in the NBC comedy “30 Rock”, had a number of Best Supporting Actor Emmy nominations for the HBO sitcom “The Larry Sanders Show” and

many more roles going all the way back to when he had his 1956 film debut in the movie “Baby Doll”.
