"(CNN) -- Actor Rip Torn, who was arrested Friday night after allegedly breaking into a bank in Salisbury, Connecticut, appeared in court Monday and posted $100,000 bond.
Torn, 78, was arraigned on burglary and firearms charges in Bantam Superior Court. His attorney, A. Thomas Waterfall, said his client has been cooperative.
The actor is accused of breaking into a bank near his Lakeville home on Friday night with a revolver while intoxicated.
The Oscar-nominated Torn, best known for his role as Zed in the "Men in Black" movies, is expected to go into a treatment facility for alcohol abuse, said Waterfall.
"Mr. Torn is expected to enter an alcohol treatment center as soon as possible and this was a condition of release by the judge," said Waterfall, adding that he was hoping it would be as soon as Tuesday." Link
Well, one does not need to be a child star to screw up his/her life. Intoxicated and with a firearm!
Robbing a bank is a federal offense. And this is after he was arrested for DUI!
While many actors his age are enjoying retirement, he will be spending his golden years in rehab or behind bars!
Sad!
