LOS ANGELES — Comedian and actor Andy Dick was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery after police were called to a disturbance outside a restaurant in suburban Murrieta.
Police said they arrived at Buffalo Wild Wings about 1:15 a.m. after receiving reports of an intoxicated man urinating outside. They stopped a truck that was leaving the scene, about 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and Dick was in the front seat.
According to Murrieta Police Lt. Dennis Vrooman, a 17-year-old woman said Dick, 42, had left the restaurant, walked up to her and pulled down her tank top, exposing her breasts. His friends escorted him to the truck, which was then stopped by police. The alleged victim and another witness picked out Dick as the assailant.
Vrooman said Dick was “extremely intoxicated” and that police found marijuana and anti-anxiety Xanax medication in his pockets.
He was booked on $5,000 bail.
