Celebrity Justice
Zed's Busted, Baby

Posted Jul 26th 2007 11:45AM by TMZ Staff

Peter GreeneBring out the cuffs: Peter Greene, the actor who so memorably rogered Ving Rhames in "Pulp Fiction," got popped Monday in New York for allegedly buying crack -- in broad daylight!

Sources tell TMZ that Greene was "observed" buying two bags of crack cocaine in a hand-to-hand deal in Manhattan's Alphabet City around 5:50 PM on Tuesday. What's more, the arrest report says that a police officer recovered "two plastic bags ... from defendant's front jeans pocket." Greene was arraigned, spent Tuesday night in jail, and plead guilty to criminal possession yesterday. Today, he's a free man, having been sentenced to time served.

Apart from Zed, Greene also played Redfoot in "The Usual Suspects" and a corrupt narcotics officer in "Training Day." His arrest was first reported by the New York Daily News.

21. How is "timed served", when you spend one night in jail on a felony charge?

22. I must be misunderstanding something about this. Is he completely in the free and clear based on time served? Do they not even process you through court for drug-related offenses in NY or did his guilty plea override the need for a court sentencing? I'm confused. That's sad, though. Crack addiction is damn near impossible to conquer.

23. I think it's funny when a judge lets a crack head go with time served in broad daylight. Nothing like a corrupt justice system fro keeping our country going in the right direction.

24. Time served...RIGHT! Don't you all know he is an informer who was caught by accident making a buy for himself. We couldn't afford to let him go to the big house. Someone he has ratted on may take revenge on him in there and he is to vaulable for us to lose. WE TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN!!!

28. what happened to the dealer? sounds like he was the only one that got nailed. buyer and dealer should both be dealt with and more harsher to the dealer. by the way, he is a good actor.

29. Drugs, drugs, drugs........Truth is these addicts not only cause turmoil to themselves, it also involves EVERYONE around them who love them. Their parents, children, relatives and friends. The pain they cause hurts others that care for them, as for them ..they are doing what "they" want to do. Very sad they can't see this. The justice system does little to help them, they get slapped on the wrist and let go to return to their drugs and partying. They should be dealt with sternly and given a lesson that they can remember, like time in jail to think about where drugs lead you.... Also, the system makes too much money on the dealers , with court fines etc.......they should be held even more accountable with very lengthly jail sentences, yet they are usually out faster than the ones who were arrested for buying or using the drugs.............it is a joke.....the system is just as corrupt, I think sometimes that is where the real problem lies !
