Wow. What a random celebrity arrest. I didn’t see this one coming. Actor Elmore “Rip” Torn was arrested Friday night for allegedly breaking into a bank in Salisbury, CT drunk and with a loaded revolver.

Torn allegedly forced entry into a Litchfield Bancorp building, at 326 Main St., setting off an alarm, state police from the Troop B barracks in North Canaan said today. When police responded to the alarm around 9:40 p.m. they found Torn “with a loaded revolver and was highly intoxicated,” according to a police news release.

Torn allegedly entered the bank through a back window, police confirmed. The small bank appeared untouched in the front and on its left and right sides. A screen resting adjacent to the window was also torn.

Rip has been acting for about 100 years, but you guys will probably recognize him either from his stint on 30 Rock as Don Geiss, or those of you with kids, as Lou Lo Duca in Bee Movie.
