Edward Fulong - Savior of Lobster-Kind
"Terminator 2" actor arrested trying to free lobsters

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.

have killed at least a million of them, and probably 100,000 therein ended up in my belly.

3. See my thread on Former Child Stars for his mugshot. :-)
I wonder what he was going to do with rescued lobsters in the middle of Kentucky?
