Enron's Skilling Reportedly Hospitalized After Bar Episode

Former Enron chief executive Jeff Skilling was hospitalized early Friday after police responded to calls saying he was harassing bar patrons on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

A police source said callers claimed Skilling was pulling on their clothes and accusing them of being "FBI agents following me," according to the Associated Press.

Skilling was found by police at 4 a.m. EDT at the corner of Park Avenue and East 73rd Street and determined he might be an "emotionally disturbed person," a source told the AP. He wasn't charged and has since left New York Presbyterian Hospital.

Skilling was at two bars in Manhattan -- American Trash and Vudu Lounge -- where he allegedly was visibly drunk and acting erratically, the source told the AP. The New York Post reported that at about 3 a.m., he went to Lexington Bar & Books on 73rd Street where he lifted a woman's shirt. Skilling then left that bar and was taken into custody on Park Avenue where his wife, Rebecca Carter, who was on crutches, fell as she tried to catch up with him.

let's see now, how many people did he stiff out of their money?

3. Sloshing it up at American Trash
How fitting of this slob. Anybody else would be spend the night in the drunk tank and probably be arrested. Not the sleazy rich and privileged. They get sent to the a Presbyterian hospital on Park Avenue.

5.  I wouldn't be surprised if he was being observed - he has a lot to say.
This scenario reeks of him having been "warned off" by someone. Betting more strange news will occur regarding Mr. Skilling and wife.
