(from July 17--Sorry this is so dated, I recall seeing a blurb about this when it happened, but couldn't access the article at the time, and forgot about it--until I saw A.D. in something earlier this evening.)

Comedian Andy Dick arrested in drug, sexual battery case in Murrieta

From the Associated Press

Andy Dick, 42, was arrested today on suspicion of drug use and sexual battery in Murrieta.

The former 'NewsRadio' star allegedly fondled a teen and pulled down her tank top outside a restaurant. Police say they found marijuana and Xanax in his possession.

Actor and comedian Andy Dick, who has a history of run-ins with the law, was arrested early Wednesday outside a Murrieta restaurant on suspicion of sexual battery and drug possession.

Police said Dick, who was heavily intoxicated, grabbed and fondled the breast of a 17-year-old girl before pulling her top down in the parking lot of the Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar about 1:15 in the morning.

Police later found one gram of marijuana and one Xanax anti-anxiety pill in Dick's pocket. He was arrested and later released on $5,000 bail.

It was the latest in a string of encounters that Dick, 42, has had with authorities. The former star of the comedy series "NewsRadio" was cited last year in Columbus, Ohio, for urinating in public. He was kicked off the set of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for repeatedly touching fellow guest Ivanka Trump. In 1999 he drove his car into a telephone pole and was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana.

***Note
--left celeb's name out of the subject line, to deter any of the usual comments that tend to go along with stories of this nature. (You know the whole, "She knows he has money, so she forced her breast into his hand, and made him pull down her shirt in hopes of cashing in...blah, blah. :eyes:)

BTW, this is truly one of the creepier celebrity mugshots I've ever seen.

1. How appropriately named he is.

2. sexual assault of a minor

and he only had to pay $5,000 for bail?

(off-topic but I have always found him unwatchable due to a strong and inexplicable "creep" vibe.)

3. Here's the Smoking Gun

Warning, enlarged view of the mugshot--Basically same story. I alway like to read the actual police report if I can.

Good for that girl, the guy is a creep. I bet she's traumatized with the memory of that pukes hands on her. Disgusting, blech.

The other comments to watch for would be something to the effect of, "Lighten up!" It was only a tank top and some tits, he shouldn't hafta go to JAIL, don't the police have anything better to do? Like go out and chase real criminals? Duh"

4. Yeah, boys will be boys.

:eyes:

But this guy is dangerous in my opinion. Besides basic entitlement issues based in the whole white dude priviledge thingie, he's got celebrity to take that up a notch.

Thanks for the Smoking Gun link. Police reports are always interesting to read.

5. I wonder how many women he has assaulted in the past.

Probably quite a few. Fucking creep clearly has no sense of other people's boundaries, particularly if they are female.

6. It's my understanding he's quite the strip club regular.

A place where few (if any) are going to call it what it really is. :(

Several years ago, I was reading a site where guys rated strip clubs.
The high end gentlemen's type clubs where absolutely no touching is allowed generally got low scores, with lots of nasty comments (like the women were stuck up or thought they were "special" :eyes:).

The clubs that tend to look the other way for the all out dry hump and grind, feel for all's with a "happy ending," (in the illustrious champagne court) got much higher scores, complete with personal recommendations of which girls were "friendliest."
