The latest celeb to join the long list of speed offenders is non other than Matt Dillon. The 44-year-old Dillon was nabbed by police for driving 106 mph in his rented Chevrolet Impala on I-91 in Newbury, Vermont where the speed limit is 65, reports People. The Nothing But the Truth star was pulled over, handcuffed and charged for driving like a lunatic. Dillon was released shortly after his arrest and is due to appear at Orange County Court on January 21^st. If convicted he faces a maximum of three months in jail and a $300 fine. Tip for Matt Dillon: perhaps your new year’s resolution should be to lay off the gas pedal.

   That’s funny!! Guy rents a ‘Chev Impala’ and feels the need for speed! Not like it’s a Lamborghini or Ferrari! LOL.

   Sorry to hear this, really like this actor, was brilliant in Crash. You don’t hear much about him in the news, too bad it has to be this.

   “too bad it has to be this”…it’s not like he was killed or anything!

   ‘Crash’ sucked! Now, ‘The Outsiders’ was a great movie!

   Wow, we must be on the same wavelength! No, wait, that was Jo & ke, wasn’t it? Anyway, the Outsiders was a really great movie, I still watch it whenever it’s on tv.
   One thing I have to ask though, is the charge actually “driving like a lunatic”, or was that just the writers at tribute! LOL I thought that was a pretty funny description!
