Elmore "Rip" Torn arrested for breaking into a bank with a loaded gun

Award-winning actor Elmore "Rip" Torn is reportedly intoxicated and was arrested for allegedly breaking into a bank with a loaded revolver.

Police responded to an alarm from Litchfield Bancorp building Friday night 9:40 p.m. and they arrested Torn after allegedly forced entry to the said establishment. They found him "with a loaded revolver and was highly intoxicated."

According to Register Citizen, "Torn 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."

He is currently being held on a $100,000 cash bond, and is set to appear in court Monday, Feb. 1

It is not the first time for the "Men in Black" star, he has a dismissed 2004 drunken driving charge, and a guilty plea in 2008 of being "ability impaired" while driving a vehicle.
