Comedian Andy Dick Arrested At Temecula Restaurant

TEMECULA (AP) — Authorities say comedian Andy Dick has been arrested in Southern California for being drunk and disorderly in public.

The Riverside County Sheriff's Department website says the 45-year-old comic actor was arrested Monday night at a Temecula restaurant and booked for investigation of disorderly conduct involving drugs with alcohol.

He was released after posting $500 bail.

Messages left for his attorney weren't immediately returned Tuesday.

Dick has a history of arrests. In 2008, he pleaded guilty and received probation after being found drunk outside a Riverside County restaurant. Last year, he was charged with sexually abuse over allegations that he groped a bouncer at a West Virginia bar.
