Actor Rip Torn Arrested on Alcohol-Related Charges
By DUI Defense Attorney on March 8, 2010

KTLA gave the details of Rip Torn’s recent arrest in Salisbury, Connecticut. The story reported that Torn was allegedly extremely intoxicated when he broke into the Litchfield Bancorp Bank through a window while carrying a loaded .22-caliber revolver in his pocket.

He is currently facing the following charges stemming from the incident: Criminal trespass, carrying a gun without a permit, carrying a gun while intoxicated, burglary and criminal mischief. Police stated that Torn thought he was in his own home and not in the bank. He didn’t threaten anyone with the gun during the event. Torn has previously been charged with DUI charges; once in Connecticut and twice in New York. His attorney was quoted as saying, “There’s an alcohol issue that needs to be addressed.” The attorney also said that Torn will be going into a New York alcohol rehab center soon.
