Yesterday, a judge dismissed the drunken-driving charges against Rip Torn after it was proven he completed the court-ordered alcohol education program.
By completing the program and showing progress, the actor was given the chance to clear his record.
See how simple that was, Lindsay???
The court-mandated classes were ordered after Rip was arrested for drunk driving near his home back in 2008. Though those charges have been dropped, Rip does have another case pending.
Remember when he drunkenly stumbled into a bank with a gun thinking it was his own house? Yeah, he still has to figure that one out. He’ll be back in court on Tuesday.
We imagine they won’t do too much to him. The man is pushing the hard side of 80. Take away his license and call it a day!
