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
