Actor 'Rip' Torn Charged With Breaking Into Bank

SALISBURY, Conn. (Jan. 30) -- Actor Elmore "Rip" Torn has been charged with breaking into a Connecticut bank and carrying a loaded handgun while intoxicated.

State police say the 78-year-old Salisbury resident was arrested Friday night after police found him inside the Litchfield Bancorp with a loaded revolver.

The "Men in Black" actor has been taken into custody and booked on charges including burglary and possession of firearm without a permit. He is being held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled for a Monday appearance in Bantam Superior Court.

Last year, Torn was given probation in a Connecticut drunken driving case and granted permission to enter an alcohol education program. He also has two previous drunken driving arrests in New York.

A spokesman for Torn did not immediately return phone calls Saturday.

Isn't he Sissy Spacek's uncle?

Wow, he must have been drunk. I would feel bad for him, but the banker in me is saying I don't care how much you had - you don't carry a gun into a bank!

He'd better get some help before someone gets hurt or killed.
