Rip Torn arrested drunk, armed in bank.

From ABC.net.au:
Emmy award-winning actor Rip Torn, who has had a recurring role in the NBC hit 30 Rock, has been arrested after police found him intoxicated and armed inside a Connecticut bank at the weekend.

Torn, 78, was being held on $US100,000 bond after state police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bank in Salisbury, the Connecticut town where the actor lives, and found him inside the closed bank "with a loaded revolver" and "highly intoxicated," according to a police report issued on Saturday (local time).

He was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief and weapons charges.

Torn, who won an Emmy for The Larry Sanders Show in 1992, has most recently appeared in several episodes of 30 Rock as network head Don Geiss.
