Rip Torn Arrested For DWI


Rip Torn, who was acquitted of drunken-driving charges two years ago in New York City, was arrested again Monday in the New York suburbs after a collision, state police said.

No one was hurt in the crash in North Salem, Trooper Edward Gillespie said. The 75-year-old character actor refused a sobriety test and would be arraigned on a charge of driving while intoxicated, Gillespie said.

Torn's publicist, Dick Guttman, said from Los Angeles that he had not heard from Torn and could not comment.
