Rip Torn, bank robber.

Thread Starter 
State police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bancorp building in Salisbury, CT at 9:40 PM last night. Police say they found Torn "with a loaded revolver" and he was "highly intoxicated."

Law enforcement sources tell us Torn gained access through a broken window, which they believe Torn broke himself.

Torn was taken to the Troop B barracks in North Canaan and is being held on $100,000 bond.

Cops say 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.

According to the Register Citizen, he is scheduled to appear in court on February 1.

Rip has had previous alcohol-related arrests -- one of which yielded the greatest mug shot in the history of mankind.

Salisbury, CT has a population of only 3,958 people. His shenanigans have got to be well known. Who keeps selling this poor old fucker alcohol?

I believe it was Jack Nicholson's role as the stoned lawyer...fate really, cause that's the movie that gave Jack his career.

Torn got in a knife fight with Dennis Hopper, that's why he was replaced.

Yeah, the knife fight with Hopper and fucking hammer fight with Norman Mailer sort of telegraphed that this is how the guy would spend his retirement, if he lived long enough.

The last thread on this guy I made the hilarious mistake of confusing Rip Torn with Rip Taylor. Oh the memories.

The glitter and confetti from a Rip Taylor robbery would have been glorious.

I don't know why, but this plainly written sentence made me laugh kinda hard. Maybe it's the image of my head of Torn trying to open the front door and being defeated by it's locked nature; then saying "FUCK IT" by busting the window with a conveniently placed cinderblock.

The visual of this made me laugh harder than I wanted to. And also because when we saw this on the news, my boyfriend immediately asked, "Is that the crazy guy from 'The Gong Show' with the bad reddish-colored wig?"

Why is nobody following this man with cameras 24/7?
Somebody in Hollywood's Reality TV division has dropped the ball here.

Sounds like an ongoing sketch for Jimmy Kimmel Live!
