He's just going thru a bit of a rough patch, that's all!


The Associated Press

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 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 a firearm without a permit. He is being held on $100,000 bond and is scheduled to appear Monday 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 drunken driving arrests in New York.

A spokesman for Torn did not immediately return phone calls Saturday.

I would think that at 78 he is more than set in his ways and won't be getting sober. His health can't be good, if he faces any extended stay in jail it may just become a life sentance.
