In a bizarre story, the actor Rip Torn has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a Connecticut bank, armed with a loaded gun.

According to authorities, Torn forced entry into a Litchfield Bancorp building and set off an alarm. When police arrived, they found him “with a loaded revolver” and “highly intoxicated.”

He was taken into custody and is being held on $100,000 cash bond.

Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass, and third-degree criminal mischief.

The actor, who co-starred on “30 Rock” and HBO’s “The Larry Sanders Show,” as well as appeared in films such as “Men in Black,” has faced several drunken driving charges in recent years.

    First I’ve heard of this but it is a small town and news can travel slow if you don’t go to the Mobil station to hear what’s happening.

    Torn lives a few houses down the road and is a notorious drinker and gun carrier. He was banned from one bar because one night his gun kept falling out on the barroom floor. He’s gotten lost in the woods, would claim he had been beaten by people trying to help him, and for all practical purposes is the town drunk. Nice guy when he’s sober, sometimes funny when he drinks but …

    He was probably trying to get money out of the atm machine and dropped his silly gun again.
