Jason Robards – King of the Jungle
Sunday, September 18th, 2011
In the summer of 1966, actor Jason Robards Jr – husband of Lauren Bacall, was booked on charges of disturbing the peace. Robards was put under a citizen’s arrest by actor Jon Hall after Hall found him and a friend running around his backyard extremely intoxicated, “apparently trying to play Tarzan”. The pair had an enormous Great Dane dog with them that they allegedly tried to get to attack Mrs. Hall by ordering it to “sic”. The dog though merely wagged it’s tail and was not a threat. Robards and his friend were arrested and held in jail a few hours before posting $110 each for bail.
