RIP TORN . . . (--whom you may remember as Agent Zed in the "Men In Black" movies, or as Patches O'Houlihan in "Dodgeball") . . . was arrested Friday night for allegedly breaking into a bank with a LOADED GUN. (???)
Police responded to an alarm at the bank in Salisbury, Connecticut . . . where Torn lives . . . at about 9:40 P.M. They found Torn inside, lying on the floor. Not surprisingly, he was HIGHLY INTOXICATED. He had smashed a window to get in.
Mark Macomber . . . the president and CEO of the bank . . . says he doesn't believe that Torn was trying to hurt anyone or steal anything. In fact, he said police told him they believe Torn thought he was IN HIS OWN HOUSE. (???)
Last we heard, Torn was STILL behind bars, and is due to be arraigned this morning.
He was booked on the following charges: Carrying a firearm while intoxicated, carrying a pistol without a permit, criminal trespass, burglary and criminal mischief.
Torn . . . who's 78 . . . has had a few alcohol-fueled brushes with the law in recent years. In 2004, he had a DUI charge dismissed, and in 2007, he pleaded guilty to being, quote, "ability impaired" while driving.
In 2008, he got pulled over after leaving a bar and trying to drive home with a Christmas tree tied to the roof of his car. He ended up getting probation for that on.
