Comedian Andy Dick arrested in drug, sex case

MURRIETA, Calif.  Comedian Andy Dick has been arrested in Riverside County for investigation of drug use and sexual battery.

The Sheriff's Department says Dick, 42, was arrested shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday in the parking lot near the Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar in Murrieta.

According to The Smoking Gun website, Dick "allegedly groped the breasts of a 17-year-old girl and then pulled the teen's tank top and bra down, exposing her breasts."

A police search of Dick turned up a small amount of marijuana and a single Xanax pill for which he did not have a prescription, per the website.

The former co-star of the TV sitcom "NewsRadio" is being held on $5,000 bail.

In 1999, Dick was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana after driving his car into a telephone pole in Hollywood. He went into a diversion program.

Last year, he was cited in Columbus, Ohio, for urinating in public.
