Celebrity Justice
Rip Torn Allegedly Ripped -- AGAIN!

Rip Torn exclusive mugshotTMZ has learned that actor Rip Torn was arrested in North Salem, New York and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI).

We're told Torn, who is 75-years-old, refused to cooperate with the cops and would not submit to a blood-alcohol test.

Torn, who has starred in numerous movies including "Men in Black" and "Dodgeball," was arrested after his car was involved in an accident and police were called. At the time of publication, Torn was still in police custody.

In January, 2004, Torn was arrested in New York City after crashing his car into a taxi, and charged with DWI. Even though Torn launched into an epic and vulgar rant at the police station, the actor was found not guilty. His lawyers were Judge Judy's two sons.Rip Torn: Click to watch

21. What the HECK !!! Is this National Drunk Driving Week ? What's going on here.?
This man is a repeat offender. He doesn't deserve to drive. Driving is a privledge...
not a RIGHT. They should take is driver's license away IMMEDIATELY . He's a NUT !

I understand that Alcoholism is a disease. But If you need to get F*cked Up , then stay THE HELL AT HOME. And if you are out ... and get intoxicated then" CALL A CAB "......or pull over to the curb and "sleep it off " ...My Goodness the man is not learning from his mistakes. It's one thing that he's a danger to himself ...but quite another that he is putting in other's in HARM'S WAY too,

The next time I come on TMZ I hope t see pictures of him ' TAKING THE BUS "OR HAILING DOWN A CAB. My God. Some people NEVER LEARN. Somebody take that Man's license AWAY before there's another fatality. Why is it drunks always kill other people and they escape unfazed ? I 've always wondered that.

22. This man is ALWAYS drunk.

It won't be so funny if he kills somebody. He needs to get himself some help.

23. To #9 Bee--
You should know better! Know one should get any kind of "thumbs up" for driving under the influence! The ol' drunk fool! He could've ended up hurting (or worse killing someone) like that ass wipe Garrison did! Ugh!

25. Rip is a very funny actor has many memorable roles. He just used some bad judgement. People of this caliber should plan ahead just as anyone else should before they decide to have a night on the town...do the smart thing and get a designated driver. Will always remember his role in summer rental with John Candy as Skully the owner of the restaurant boat that they sailed to win the regatta . The Barnecale was the boat.
