Alec Baldwin scolded in court appearance, vows to stay out of trouble

Actor Alec Baldwin is not apologizing over an incident that led to a disorderly conduct arrest in May. Baldwin told a Manhattan judge Thursday he’d rather pay a fine than apologize over the encounter that started when police stopped him for riding a bicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. Judge John Delury asked the actor, “Can you stay out of trouble, Alexander?” The actor responded, “Sure, sure.”

Looks like you have a short fuse.
