Debra Oberlin – the former president of the Gainesville, Florida MADD (Mothers against drunk driving) was arrested with driving drunk.  The 48 year old Oberlin registered a .234 and .239 on breath alcohol tests when Florida’s legal limit for driving is .08 – three times the legal limit.

She was spotted by police on February 18th a little after 1 am.  Her car was swerving and crossing lanes and when she was pulled over and got out of her car, the smell of alcohol and her blood shot eyes gave it away.

Gainesville’s MADD chapter existed for several years in the 1990s before closing in 1996 because of lack of financial support (and more importantly – lack of leadership).

Lindsay Lohan Mugshot

Lindsay Lohan was “Fully Loaded” and arrested in July of 2007.  Cops in Santa Monica, California spotted Lohan driving at a high speed (must have thought she was still driving Herbie) in her SUV while chasing another vehicle and was pulled-over.  She failed the sobriety test that was given to her and she was taken to the L.A. County lockup and had a pat-down search conducted on her.  The search revealed cocaine in her pants pocket (what else would you expect out of a wealthy 21 year old actress?).

She had her mugshot taken again in November of 2007 after she surrendered to serve a brief jail term for the drunk driving conviction that stemmed from the July incident.

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”.

Haley Joel Osment Mug Shot

As a young boy, Haley Joel Osment starred in the movie “The Sixth Sense” with Bruce Willis.  As a man-boy at 18 years old he was featured in this mug shot after he crashed his 1996 Saturn station wagon in July of 2006.

The accident hospitalized Osment for a short time with minor injuries and caused him to be charged with drunk driving and marijuana possession.  It has been reported that right before he wrecked the car, he sat-up, looked at himself in the rear-view mirror and said “I see drunk people”.
