The 78-year-old Men in Black star, according to police, allegedly forced entry into the Litchfield Bancorp building in Salisbury on Friday, setting off the building's alarm. Police said that when they responded to the alarm around 9:40 p.m., they said Torn was carrying "a loaded revolver and was highly intoxicated."

It’s the latest in a sad series of alcohol-related incidents for The Larry Sanders Show star: Torn escaped jail for a December 2008 drunken driving incident, as he was granted permission to enter an alcohol education program instead. Prior to that, he had two  drunken driven charges against him in New York. He was acquitted by a jury in a 2004 drunken driving case and, in a second case, pleaded guilty in 2007 to a lesser charge of being ability impaired.

Yikes!!! The pic is funny but he needs some court ordered rehab ASAP...he's had 3 DUIs in 5 yrs and now B&E with a gun, etc., while smashed. He's lucky he's not dead and didn't kill someone.
