"Terminator 2" actor arrested trying to free lobsters (Salon)

[On the Road]

Sept. 17, 2004 | FLORENCE, Ky. -- Edward Furlong's ploy to free some lobsters from their tank landed the actor in jail. He was arrested Wednesday night on a misdemeanor charge of alcohol intoxication in a public place in this northern Kentucky city.

Furlong, who appeared in "Terminator 2'' and "American History X,'' spent about 1 1/2 hours in the Boone County jail before his release.

The animal-rights supporter and vegetarian was arrested after he and some friends removed lobsters from a tank at a Meijer grocery store. Furlong argued with store managers, who then called police, according to his arrest citation.

Furlong was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred and his breath smelled of alcohol, the citation said.

Note: at first I read this as trying to flee lobsters. I was thinking 'he must have been really drunk to have difficulty fleeing a lobster. And why were the lobsters after him in the first place?'

1. At how many furlongs under the sea does one find lobsters?

2. Wait a second, Kentucky?

WTF? Was he then going to hijack a plane and fly these lobsters back to the ocean?

3. My God! Does he have any idea...

And don't forget, kids -- mushrooms aren't vegetables anymore, either.
