Daniel Baldwin Gets a Break in Car Theft Case

TMZ has learned that Daniel Baldwin is officially in the clear over allegations that he stole a car in November.

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Orange County D.A. spokesperson Farrah Emami said:

"After following up on statements provided to us by witnesses and the victim, we have determined that the evidence didn't support us going forward with the case and all charges have been dropped."

As TMZ first reported, Baldwin was arrested in Santa Monica on November 28, after the GMC Yukon he was driving was reported stolen in Orange County.

Baldwin pled not guilty to charges of unlawfully taking a car and receiving stolen property.

16. What isn't known is that Alec Baldwin flew to California every week to visit Ireland when he was working in NY. Never missed a visit, except that Kim Basinger didn't always make Ireland available when she was supposed to. Ditto, the court-ordered phone call visits. No one, including Mr. Baldwin, is excusing his behavior, but Kim Basinger, who frustrated his efforts to see his daughter, talk to her, and then taped the outburst (which she provoked) and then on top of that to maliciously send that tape to TMZ and sit back, savoring Baldwin's meltdown (at her daughter's expense) is beneath contempt! What a destructive, despicable, sick woman! What kind of mother would do this?

20. Guess I was a little out of line on my last posts. I am sorry.
Instead of knocking the person down I guess we should be praying for them. None of us know what the Baldwin family went through when they were kids, so until we have walked in their shoes we should be forgiving and pray for them.

21. Lyndon........very nice dude, that is what we should see more often a Christain spirit.
Good for you to stand up and realize that your posts were unkind and least that makes you almost a man. Now if only you could grow that little thing between your legs.....

22. Remember when it was slang to call a good looking guy a Baldwin? Now a Baldwin whould be a aging guy with a gut and mental problems. I do feel for Alec, and I wonder why nobody is pointing out that airing this tape is just as abusive as leaving the message was. My kid would be mortified having the world hear that, I think the worst of the dammage this kid suffered came from TMZ and "whoever" gave them the tape.

24. These are all con with money to buy themselves out.

25. It's my impression that the Baldwin boys are a bunch of white trash thugs that are entirely incapable of obscuring just how base they are. I find it truly proposterous that anyone excuses Alex Baldwin's behavior as demonstrated in his vitriolic voicemail to his daughter. Interestingly, many of those who condone his behavior, conclude that his daughter must have done something to deserve that condemnation when indeed, there is no proof that she did anything. If the rant were not enough, in the guise of an extended apology, he went on The View, apologized for the rant then proceeded to further diminish his daughter's mother. I have no doubt that when Baldwin states that Basinger's mother asked him "What did we both do to deserve this treatment?" or something similar. Women who marry abusers were abused by their own parents. If I had a grand daughter and her father spoke to her like that, I'd never talk to the creep again. I certainly wouldn't call the guy and side with him against my own daughter, no matter what she did. Blood is blood. Baldwin is what you get when you have a mother like that. It is admirable to me that Basinger is willing to put herself for such difficult scrutiny so that the abuse ENDS HERE! Anyone who can't understand that and support her bravery are abusers themselves in one form or other. Is it any surprise that Rosie O'Donnel supports Baldwin? She's an abuser. Bill Maher? A woman hating closet case who is rumored to screw around with hookers? Hmmm, are these people anyone would want on their side?
