That's Torn it, Rip

Actor Rip Torn, who was acquitted of drunken-driving charges two years ago in New York City, was arrested on Monday after a collision.

No one was hurt in the crash but the 75-year-old character actor refused a sobriety test and will be arraigned on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

In 2004, Torn was acquitted when jurors said the prosecution failed to prove he was drinking before his crash with a taxi. A police videotape showed Torn cursing and berating officers before turning down a sobriety test.
