Rip Torn in jail for trying to rob a bank

[Mook]

ACTOR Rip Torn has been arrested after allegedly breaking into a Connecticut bank armed with a loaded handgun.

The boozy Dodgeball actor allegedly broke into the Litchfield Bankcorp building Salisbury, Connecticut, where he lives, at around 9.40 pm Friday (local time), according a police report posted on the gossip site TMZ.

TMZ reported that law enforcement sources said Torn gained access through a broken window.

The alarm sounded, and state police arrived to find the sometime 30 Rock actor packing a loaded revolver and "highly intoxicated", the report said.

The police report didn't say whether Torn intended to rob the bank or where inside the building he was found.

The 78-year-old actor, whose real first name is Elmore, was taken into custody without incident and jailed on US$100,000 ($112,500) bail.

Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile, and I like the taste.

man.. guess he likes to booze a little too much.

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 return phone calls.
