Rip Torn -- who gave us this absolute classic mugshot (left) a couple years back -- got pinched for yet another alleged DUI.
Cops say 77-year-old Rip was driving down Route 44 in Connecticut in his Subaru with an Xmas tree on top -- only problem was, he was in the breakdown lane, so they pulled him over. Popo says he failed part of a field sobriety test and refused to take a Breathalyzer test.
Torn pleaded not guilty yesterday in court to illegal operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence and failure to drive in the proper lane.
This is his third DUI in the last five years.

Heather Locklear just got her driving under the influence case dismissed, and she's pled to a much lesser offense.
Heather pled no contest to reckless driving, a misdemeanor. She'll be placed on three years informal probation, pay a $700 fine, and she must attend a 12-hour drug education course.
Heather was arrested last September after she was allegedly driving under the influence of prescription meds. The D.A. says Locklear's blood tests showed prescription drugs were indeed in her system. No alcohol was involved.

Barkley: All I Really Wanted Was Oral Sex
Published

Updated
This may be the very best police report of 2008. When Charles Barkley was busted in Arizona early NYE morning for DUI, he told cops he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to get some oral sex.
According to the officer who wrote the report, "He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat."
The officer continues: "He asked me to admit that she was 'hot.' He asked me, 'You want the truth?' When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b**w job. He then explained that she had given him a 'b**w job' one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life."
The report says when Barkley was taken to the station, he told one of the employees, "I'll tattoo my name on your ass" if he helped "get him out of the DUI." According to the report, "He laughed and then quickly corrected himself and said, 'I'll tattoo your name on my ass' and then laughed again."
The report also says officers "found a handgun in the vehicle" which was immediately impounded. The report doesn't say if the handgun was legal or not, and the only thing that we know for sure was loaded...
