"Actor Rip Torn Arrested for Allegedly Breaking Into Connecticut Bank 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."

" Actor Rip Torn Arrested for Allegedly Breaking Into Connecticut Bank NEW YORK - A man was charged with withdrawing $2 million from an account after a bank confused him with a man who has the same name. ADVERTISEMENT Benjamin Lovell was arraigned Tuesday on grand larceny charges. The 48-year-old salesman said he tried to tell officials at Commerce Bank in December that he did not have a $5 million account. He says he was told it was his and he could withdraw the money. Prosecutors said the bank — which advertises itself as America's Most Convenient Bank — confused Lovell with a Benjamin Lovell who works for a property management company. The lesser-funded Lovell gave away some of the withdrawn money and blew some of it on gifts, but lost much of it on bad investments, prosecutors said. The district attorney's office did not immediately have information on his lawyer. Calls left with"

Yeah, uh, Patches... are you sure that this is completely necessary?

Necessary? Is it necessary for me to drink my own urine?

Probably not.

No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste.

"In 1994, Torn sued Dennis Hopper after Hopper went on The Tonight Show and told Jay Leno an anecdote from almost 30 years earlier. As Hopper told it, Torn had auditioned for the role of a pot-smoking lawyer in Easy Rider in 1969, and almost had the part, but when Torn and Hopper went to dinner, they argued and Torn pulled a knife on Hopper. In his lawsuit, Torn agreed on most of the details, but said that it was Hopper who'd pulled a knife on Torn. A judge heard from both sides, and from witnesses who's been at the restaurant, and decided that Hopper's testimony -- or memory -- was wrong. Torn got $475,000 from Hopper, and when Hopper appealed, another judge doubled the award."

"Actor Rip Torn posts bail; accused of breaking into bank Actor Rip Torn, who was arrested Friday night after allegedly breaking into a bank in Salisbury, Connecticut, appeared in court Monday and posted $100,000 bond. Torn, 78, was arraigned on burglary and firearms charges in Bantam Superior Court. His attorney, A. Thomas Waterfall, said his client has been cooperative. The actor is accused of breaking into a bank near his Lakeville home on Friday night with a revolver while intoxicated. The Oscar-nominated Torn, best known for his role as Zed in the "Men in Black" movies, is expected to go into a treatment facility for alcohol abuse, said Waterfall. "Mr. Torn is expected to enter an alcohol treatment center as soon as possible and this was a condition of release by the judge," said Waterfall, adding that he was hoping it would be as soon as Tuesday."

"“He will enter rehab on Tuesday,” lawyer A. Thomas Waterfall said. The actor has previous arrests for drunken driving. Waterfall said he expected Torn to plead not guilty at his next court hearing on Feb 17. “Mr Torn believed he was at home,” Waterfall told Reuters. “Based upon that belief he would not have the necessary intent to commit a crime.”"
