DUI

Khloe Kardashian was a wanted woman ... a woman who was on the lam for 7 years until lady justice -- and a tranny -- caught up with her in court this morning.

Ok, we overstate a bit. Here's what happened. In 2003, Khloe got a speeding ticket and just forgot about it. When the ticket wasn't paid, a bench warrant was issued for her arrest.

Fast forward to 2007, when Khloe was busted for DUI. For some reason the warrant did not appear on her record during the arrest or prosecution. Nor did the warrant surface when Khloe got various traffic tickets over the years.

So how, you ask, did the warrant come to light? Memba that whole thing between Khloe and the tranny outside Playhouse nightclub last December? Well the tranny filed a police report and that's when a cop noticed the warrant.

So today, Khloe, along with her lawyer -- the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley -- appeared in an L.A. court with a mea culpa. The judge ordered Khloe to pay $200 in court costs, recalled the warrant and dismissed the ticket.

As for the tranny case, cops sided with Khloe.

Rip Torn is so in need of help, even the CEO of the bank he allegedly broke into on Friday night wants to see someone stage an intervention.

Torn was arrested after cops found him drunk inside a bank in Connecticut with a loaded revolver.

Mark E. Macomber, President/CEO of Litchfield Bancorp in Connecticut, tells TMZ no one was in the building at the time Torn allegedly broke in -- and the only damage was to the smashed window cops say was Torn's point of entry.

Macomber says he didn't believe Torn was trying to hurt anyone or steal anything. Macomber spoke to authorities in Connecticut who told him Torn was found lying on the floor. He said cops believe Torn thought he was in his own house.

He called the incident a "serious matter," but seemed to think Torn needed help with his alcohol problem more than anything else.

Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief. He is due in court on Monday.

UPDATE: As of Sunday morning, Rip Torn is still in custody.

State police responded to an alarm at the Litchfield Bancorp building in Salisbury, CT at 9:40 PM last night. Police say they found Torn "with a loaded revolver" and he was "highly intoxicated."

Law enforcement sources tell us Torn gained access through a broken window, which they believe Torn broke himself.

Torn was taken to the Troop B barracks in North Canaan and is being held on $100,000 bond.

Cops say Torn was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, first-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and third-degree criminal mischief.

According to the Register Citizen, he is scheduled to appear in court on February 1.

More trouble for the Cincinnati Bengals -- last night star linebacker Rey Maualuga was arrested for DUI.

The 23-year-old former USC star was pulled over around 1:44 AM in Kentucky and charged with drunken driving and careless driving.

A police spokesperson claims Maualuga hit a parking meter and two parked cars while driving a 2003 Pontiac.

Maualuga was scheduled to appear at a video arraignment later this morning.

UPDATE: Rey pled not guilty and has been released from jail. He's due back in court February 25.

UPDATE #2: According to the police report, Rey blew a .157 -- almost double the legal limit.

Rey told police he had been drinking "about six Captain and Coke drinks."

As TMZ first reported, Natalie's husband -- "Heroes" star Adrian Pasdar -- was thrown behind bars this morning after he was popped for DUI on an L.A. freeway at 3 AM.

Pasdar was released around 8:30 AM. Roughly an hour later, an emotional-looking Natalie and a female friend went out for a quick hike.

If only Pasdar had gone for a walk instead of getting behind the wheel ...

TMZ has learned 44-year-old Pasdar was arrested at 2:59 AM after cops clocked him going more than 90 mph on the 405 Freeway in L.A. We're told cops also noticed Pasdar was "failing to maintain his lane."

According to

, when cops approached Pasdar's ride, they detected the odor of alcohol -- and decided to give him a field sobriety test. Pasdar was eventually placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI.

Pasdar -- who is married to Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines -- was taken to a nearby jail, where he was booked and placed behind bars. He's listed at 5'10" and 175 lbs.

His bail was set at $15,000 -- we're told the bail amount was so high because the actor refused to take a breathalyzer.

White tried to pound down his wine outside Boa last night -- even though he admitted he probably shouldn't be drinkin' on the Sunset Strip.

Dude was funny as hell though -- so really, he can do whatever the hell he wants.

Lauter was getting into his car outside Chateau Marmont when security intervened and told the guy to take a cab instead ... a suggestion he was none too happy with.

Though Ed kept saying he was "fine" and even dropped coach Larry Brown's name in an attempt to win points with the guard, he eventually relented -- and got a taxi.

Attempts to reach Ed for comment were unsuccessful.

The strict Catholic procured the services of a chauffeur-driven limousine, just in case.

As TMZ previously reported, Paris' younger bro was given a 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe by his dad as a reward for getting his license back after his 2008 DUI bust -- and it was delivered Wednesday afternoon.

Within an hour of the car's delivery, Barron was already seen driving it -- with Rick riding shotty.

Best DUI gift EVER.

Hilton got his driver's license back Tuesday ... it was yanked after he pled no contest in 2008 to DUI in Malibu, where he allegedly hit a gas station employee with his car.

The 20-year-old went to the DMV and had to re-take his road test. We're told he was sober and he passed. His reward from pops -- a black 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe.

It may seem like Barron is spoiled, until you realize ... his 15-year-old brother Conrad gets to drive dad's $200,000 Bentley. It's all relative.

Thomas Dekker -- who played John Connor in "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" -- just got a deal he couldn't refuse in his DUI case.

Dekker just pled no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving in connection with an accident in which a 17-year-old bicyclist was injured. Dekker was arrested on two counts of felony DUI and placed on $100,000 bail. He was eventually charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI.

But apparently the case fell apart when prosecutors learned the bicyclist was at fault -- riding without reflectors the wrong way on a freeway on-ramp.

Dekker was placed on two years informal probation and agreed to take a 12-hour alcohol ed class and pay a $300 fine.

Dekker's lawyer, Blair Berk, could not be reached for comment.

It all went down Thursday -- law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Rodman was drinking at a restaurant called Waterfalls inside the Atrium Hotel. We're told cops were called after several patrons complained about Rodman's behavior.

When police arrived, Rodman was cooperative with the officers and eventually agreed to leave without further incident.

Jayson Williams will be arraigned Thursday morning -- from his hospital bed, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Williams is still in Bellevue Hospital's criminal ward recovering from serious injuries he suffered in a car accident Tuesday morning -- he was charged with DWI in the wreck.

We're told in addition to video, there are independent witnesses who can place Williams behind the wheel.

We're told Williams insists he was not the driver.

Our law enforcement sources say Williams was the only one in the SUV and no one was seen fleeing the scene.
