Andy Dick Arrested for Sexual Abuse

Posted Jan 23rd 2010 8:59AM by TMZ Staff

Andy Dick was arrested in West Virginia this morning on two counts felony counts of sexual abuse in the first degree.

Dick was taken to the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville, where he was eventually released this afternoon. His bail was set at $60,000 (30k for each charge). We're told the owner of the Funny Bone, where Dick performed last night, posted the bail.

Dick faces 1-5 years in prison if convicted.

According to the criminal complaint, Dick was talking to a guy when he "unexpectedly and without invitation grabbed the victim's crotch, repeatedly groping then kissing him."

Also in the complaint, a security guard at the bar says that Andy Dick "grabbed his crotch and began laughing" when the guard tried to give him an armband.

A press release from the Huntington Police Department says: "Based upon statements of two victims and independent witness accounts alleging that he had engaged in unwanted and uninvited groping of the two victims' genital areas, Andrew R. Dick (AKA Andy Dick) of South Pasadena, Calif., was arrested and charged with two counts of Sex Abuse in the First Degree."

Dick was in town performing at the Funny Bone in Huntington, WV. The manager there tells us he hasn't spoken to Dick yet, but as of now his performance for Saturday is still on.

Dick is currently on probation over an incident at a chicken joint, where he was arrested for sexual assault. He copped a plea to battery in 2008.

4. Heh

I wonder if he was out-of-his-mind on cocaine or not.

[rcrush]

11. I think theres only a 99.9999% chance that was the case.

[Vinnie From Indy]

14. If that is his picture above,

I would say he is raging on something

[rcrush]

8. Uh oh The EMH Mark II is freaking out again

[47of74]

9. I hope this time he goes to prison

I really, really, really do not like Andy Dick. I do believe that he was in part responsible for the deaths of not only Phil Hartmann, but his wife Brynn as well.

[rcrush]

12. +1

[Opienawa]

17. Andy Dick responsible for deaths?

What is that about? I've never heard of this.... Not a fan of
Dick either (referencing the personage only, that is).

[bigwillq]

18. Hello.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[47of74]

29. Dick is partially responsible for the death of Phil Hartmann

Even though it was Phil's wife Brynn that pulled the trigger on the gun that ended his life, Andy Dick shares part of the blame. He gave Brynn the cocaine that caused her to suffer a breakdown which led to her killing Phil before turning the gun on herself.

13. Arrested for doing a 'Schwarzenegger".. running about groping folks.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. What's the deal about him groping a chicken joint?

[WCGreen]

19. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you....

[paulsby]

20. normally, he would get probation for such an assault

in my jurisdiction, the charge would be "indecent liberties"

however, since he is already ON probation for such an offense, incarceration imo should be a given, if convicted.

clearly, something is wrong with this guy,

fwiw, i;m surprised he still has a functioning jaw. going around grabbing random men's groins is not a great way to maintain solid dental health

[gulliver]

21. Dick was performing at the Funny Bone?

Don't you have to be funny?

[sharesunited]

22. Nothing funny about that Dick's bone.

[RoseMead]
