‘Thar he blows’! Alec Baldwin unloads on NYC’s ‘carnival of stupidity’ after arrest

Posted at 1:05 pm on May 13, 2014 by Sarah D.

Alec Baldwin was arrested earlier today for riding his bike the wrong way on Fifth Avenue and — shockah! — reportedly yelling at the two female officers who took him into custody.

From The New York Post:

Because of his bad attitude and lack of ID, the cops handcuffed him and brought him to the 13th Precinct station house for a warrant check, sources said.
Once there, he loudly complained “How old are these officers?” and “They don’t even know who I am,” a source said.

It’s just not easy being Alec Baldwin! He soon took to Twitter to tell his side of the story:

Officer Moreno, badge number 23388, arrested me and handcuffed me for going the wrong way on Fifth Ave

Meanwhile, photographers outside my home ONCE AGAIN terrified my daughter and nearly hit her with a camera. The police did nothing.

New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that is desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign.

Takes one “carnival of stupidity” to know one. Right, Alec?

That’s very true.

And as far as his daughter is concerned …

My, how things have changed.

Is that the daughter you called a little pig or a different one? @ABFalecbaldwin
