MURRIETA, Calif. (July 16) - Andy Dick was arrested early Wednesday for investigation of drug use and sexual battery after the comedian allegedly pulled down a teenager's top, police said.

The former co-star of the TV sitcom "NewsRadio" was released from a detention center after posting $5,000 bail. Calls to his representatives seeking comment were not immediately returned.

Police were called to the Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta at about 1:13 a.m. to investigate a report of "an intoxicated male" urinating outside the bar and causing a disturbance, according to a police statement.

When they arrived, a 17-year-old girl told police that she was outside when Dick left the bar, walked up, "grabbed her tank top and bra and pulled them down and exposed her breasts," the statement said.

Friends escorted Dick to a truck, which officers stopped at a nearby Sam's Club, police said.

Dick was identified by the teenager and a witness, police said.

Marijuana and the drug Xanax were found his pants pockets during a search and he appeared "extremely intoxicated," police said.

Dick, 42, was booked at Southwest Detention Center in French Valley on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor possession of marijuana.

Dick has a reputation for crude behavior. He has been reported to have exposed himself to audiences at least twice. He was forcibly removed from the set of the show "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last year after he repeatedly touched guest Ivanka Trump without her permission.

Also last year, Dick was cited in Columbus, Ohio, for urinating on the sidewalk. A comedy club owner in the city said the actor also made inappropriate comments while onstage, groped patrons, took women into the men's room and urinated on the floor and on at least one person.

In 1999, Dick was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana after driving his car into a telephone pole in Hollywood. He pleaded guilty but the charges were dismissed after he went into a diversion program.

But Andy Dick seems to really serve no purpose in the comedy community - I don't find him funny at all - and if he has somekind of problem with touching people , let him touch me and that will be the last time he touches someone for sometime after , I will slap the taste outta his mouth . Even before Hartmans death I never really liked him - I don't see how he keeps getting work - probably because he's gay and there apparently is this gay thing that runs rampant in Hollywood - I'm sure there's some struggling comedian out there thats looking for work , that could easily do any job that would require Dick .

I'd say Kimmel handled that well , although I did not see the show at the time it was aired and as for Jon Lovitch beating him up a little last year , I'm surprised someone hasn't killed the guy - I can't 100% blame him for the death of Phil Hartman , I was a Hartman , Lovitch fan of saturday Night live and miss him (actually I've almost forgot about the guy until this came up ) Giving a recovering addict coke does not show malice - it's up to that individual whom has the issue - I've had friends who were addicts and were able to wheen themselves off and stay off simply for the fact thats what they wanted - I think there was a lot more involved in the Hartmans case - but NO, you shouldn't offer coke to a recovering addict , just out of respect for all those whom are around that person , who love and care for that person !!

so then, why is it this guy keeps getting jobs? would this behavior be acceptable in any other profession (outside Congress, of course). i think his name says it all . . .

Too bad his name's not Andy Decency...

Why do we think this man is a comedian? .. Why do we REWARD behavior like this?

he really is a creep. i always thought there was something very very wierd about him, and not in a good way. in my opinion he's not a funny guy at ALL. has never been. looks like he's had a hard time of it for quite some time now. obviously he's got some substance abuse problems, but above that i've always seen a painfully obvious mental illness. with that, i think he's just a lonely, perverted, D-list "actor/comedian" who's fallen off the earth as far as Hollywood is concerned. oh well. who even liked him to begin with??

i am amused by the guy and what he can get away with. though if that were a lady in my family she would have broken most of the bones in that arm of his the second attempt to grope her if not the first.

Charlie Chapman, Jackie Gleason, Lucille Ball, The Three Stooges, Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, Art Carney, Jerry Lewis, Gene Wilder, Don Rickles, Gilda Radnor, Chevy Chase. Dan Acroyd, Buster Keaton, Ellen DeGeneres, Whoopi Goldberg, Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Robert Klein, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano, Stuey, Ben Stiller, These are Comedians. Andy Dick is a gross, untalented jack off who deserves no notariaty.Calling him a comedian is an insult to all of the above and anyone else who makes people laugh .

This guy is a creep. He has a drug and alcohol problem. He needs jail time to sober up and get a big dose of reality.
