Troubled actor Andy Dick has been arrested for grand theft after allegedly stealing a necklace.

The former Dancing with the Stars contestant was riding his bike in Hollywood last week when he rode up to a man on the street and asked if he could see his chain, TMZ reports. The man supposedly recognized the comedian and handed Dick the piece of jewelry, and the 48-year-old then allegedly rode off with the $1,000 necklace.
