LITCHFIELD - Film and stage actor Elmore "Rip" Torn came in to Litchfield Superior Court Tuesday morning.

The 79-year-old actor, who is facing a number of charges including first-degree burglary, came into the courthouse around 9:25 a.m. Torn is slated to appear today on allegations that he broke into a Lakeville bank intoxicated.

Police said Torn, who has been in rehabilitation since being released on a $100,000 bond, did not take anything from the bank. According to court documents Torn thought he was at his house when he entered the Litchfield Bancorp on Jan. 29. Police said he broke a back window to get in, took off his hat and boots and was milling around the house when state police in North Canaan responded to the break-in alarm.
