FLORENCE, Ky., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- Film star Edward Furlong, a vegetarian and animal-rights activist, has been caught freeing lobsters from a Kentucky grocery store tank.
Furlong, who appeared in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," was charged with alcohol intoxication Wednesday night, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Saturday.
"Mr. Furlong and his friends would not stop taking the lobsters out of the tank," McDermond said. But the officer isn't sure the actor's goal was to free the crustaceans. "He seemed to be playing with them more," said police Lt. John McDermond said.
Furlong, in Kentucky shooting an independent film entitled "Jimmy and Judy," had been arguing with store clerks when police arrived at the scene.
Furlong was taken to the Boone County jail, where he spent 45 minutes in custody. He had to promise to commit "no further offenses" in Kentucky before being released and must pay a $171.50 fine or appear in court Oct. 1.
