SALISBURY, Conn. -- Actor Elmore "Rip" Torn has been arrested for breaking into a Salisbury bank and carrying a firearm while intoxicated.

Connecticut state police said 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 was taken into custody and booked on numerous criminal charges, including burglary and possession of firearm without a permit.

He was 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.

Did he actually try to stick up the bank or was he merely carrying?

One should never attempt a bank heist while intoxicated.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

He isn't charged with Robbery, but Burglary.

The firearms thing seems to be the more serious charge.

 

[Anguille]

What kind of a name is "Rip Torn" anyhow?

I think the justice system will rip him a new one and then he will live up to his name.

 

[Claudette]

Is he related to Crunch Hardtack????

 

[Toro]

I'm sorry to hear that.

I really liked him in The Larry Sanders Show.

 

[Conspiracist]

At this point, this guy will get insanity and finish his days in a mental hospital.

Notice he was not charged with Robbery or robbing a bank. Some people can not read.

Chill out Sarge. Breaking into a bank with a gun makes one think of a bank robber. Most "bank robbers" get caught - with or without the cash. I can read. Don't worry about me,
