Actor heading to rehab following alleged bank robbery

By Amelia Robinson | Monday, February 1, 2010, 02:43 PM

Looks like his name is Rip for a reason.

Cops say Rip Torn got ripped and tried to rip off a bank.

Now the Emmy winner is doing what celebrities do when they get busted for allegedly breaking the law - he’s going to rehab.

The veteran actor is expected to post $100,000 bond today, Monday, Feb. 2, and then head to a Manhattan clinic, according to E online and the Associated Press.

Cops say the 78-year-old “Men in Black” actor was drunk off his rockers Friday and armed with a revolver when he broke into a bank in Salisbury, Conn., his home town.

He is charged with criminal mischief trespassing, possession of a firearm without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated and burglary, E says.

The Emmy winner’s attorney denied he had a firearm.

The attorney said Torn thought he was in his own home when he was arrested, the Hartford Courant reports.

The newspaper says that police went to the bank at about 9:45 p.m. Friday after an alarm sounded. Torn was inside and a window a was broken.
