Apparently Rip Torn likes 24 hour banking. Unfortunately for him, his bank does not have staff on hand 24 hours a day. Saturday night, Rip was found inside a bank near his home. Police found him drunk and with a loaded gun. Torn was charged with burglary, criminal trespass and criminal mischief and weapons charges.
No one was hurt, but these arrests of Rip are getting out of hand. I'm guessing he probably drove to the bank which is scary enough. He has been arrested in the past for drinking and driving. The CEO of the bank said to TMZ that Rip thought Rip was in his own home. If that is the case I have got to see his house. I have never been in a house that has teller windows.
Rip is due in court this morning.
He probably didn't drive or they would have added those charges too.
ReplyDeleteWhy doesn't he have a reality show?
Why doesn't he look humiliated in his photo?
ReplyDeleteRip is a hardcore alcoholic. At this point in time, I'm amazed he's alive.
ReplyDeleteSad. He used to be such a handsome man. Now he looks like an old drunk off the streets.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly has grown into his name.
ReplyDeleteHey everyone. Wife is out of the hospital and home. Thanks for all the good wishes last week. She's sore, but on the mend.
ReplyDeleteBy the way... Imma let ya'll finish, but George Wendt is the best drunken bank burglar in the world.
ReplyDeleteRyan, what happened to your wife?
ReplyDeleteAnd this story is just sad.
Glad to hear it, Ryan. Send her our best.
ReplyDeleteCar accident. Serious, but not deadly. A night in the ICU. Another two in the hospital after that.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Babs.
ReplyDeletegood to hear, ryan.
ReplyDeleterip needs to sit down and dry up. major drunk now w/ gun-toting violent tendencies? scary.
Glad your wife is out of the hospital Ryan!
ReplyDeleteWhat killed me about this story was that the CEO of the bank really just seems to feel sorry for rip. That is SO not what would happen if I broke into a bank...
Wow, Ryan hope she feels better soon, and glad she's okay!
ReplyDeleteMan, I loved Rip in the Garry Shandling show. A true classic.
ReplyDeleteThe other pic (mug shot?) I saw of rip looked like a "face of meth" but years of hardcore drinking can obviously have the same physical effects, especially in a 70-year old who probably doesn't eat a healthy diet (if he eats at all, being such a drunk).
Sad.
Ms Cool - because he is probably still drunk in the mug shot. I think that one is from 2006. Guy needs to drink water instead of beer. Sheesh.
ReplyDelete@Ryan: I'm glad all is well in Wendt-land!
ReplyDelete@Ryan: I'm glad all is well in Wendt-land!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update, Ryan ! I wondered about your wife over the weekend and was hoping you would post an update-- Glad all is well !
ReplyDeleteI will continue to keep her in my prayers for a speedy recovery.
Glad your wife is on the mend, Ryan.
ReplyDeleteI always thought it'd be pretty awesome to get charged with criminal mischief. For a long time I plotted ways to make it happen until I spent a night in the drunk tank. After that, jail lost its forbidden appeal.
A lot of banks in my neck of the woods - also Rip's - are in stately old houses on village streets. I can see how a delusional drunk could mistake it for home.
ReplyDelete@ballyhoo~no bank CEO would feel sorry for me, either! amazing!
ReplyDeletegood to hear Ryan :o)
ReplyDeleteApparently -- as farmgirl said -- the bank in question was housed inside an old Victorian house. So it *could* just be a case of Rip mistaking it for his own home. Which could totally happen...if you were drunk...and disorientated...and totally out of it. And, um, had issues.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't susprise me if he has some kind of dementia, from being constantly drunk för the past century.
ReplyDeletei really hope rip gets sober. he's a great actor. it's never too late and you're never too old.
ReplyDeleteRyan - how scary! I am glad she is home and I hope she recovers physically and emotionally in a quick manner.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had a happy ending Ryan.
ReplyDelete"Apparently Rip Torn likes 24 hour banking."
ReplyDeleteLOL V. funny Enty. Poor Rip. I guess now we know how he got his nickname.
LMAO @ this post.
ReplyDeleteThis is one busted mug shot.
