Subject: Rip Torn charged with breaking into Conn. bank

Written By: ninny on 01/31/10 at 6:46 am

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.

He is 78.  This maybe the onset of dementia or something like that.  It could be more of a sad story than anything else.

They showed him in court on the news this morning.  It made me sad, he looked so old and out of it.

I agree.  The phrase "senior moment" came to mind. 

We think my mom might be going around the bend a little bit, but it's hard to tell because she was around the bend a little bit when she 33!
