Comedian Andy Dick arrested

Andy Dick arrested in Murrieta on suspicion of drug possession, sexual battery

An "extremely intoxicated" Andy Dick was arrested early today outside a Murrieta chicken restaurant after he allegedly urinated in the parking lot and exposed a 17-year-old girl's breasts, a news release from the Murrieta Police Department said.



Police also found marijuana and the prescription drug Xanax in the 42-year-old comedian's pants when he was searched during his arrest, the news release said.

Dick was booked into the Southwest Detention Center on suspicion of sexual battery, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and public intoxication.

Police were called to Buffalo Wild Wings on Murrieta Hot Springs Road at 1:13 a.m. in response to a report of a drunken man causing a disturbance outside the restaurant, the release said.

Witnesses told officers that as a man left the restaurant, he walked up to two females, grabbed the tank top and bra of the 17-year-old girl and pulled them down, exposing her, the news release said.

The suspect was then escorted to a truck by several of his friends, witnesses told officers. Officers stopped the truck as it was leaving the location and found Dick in the front passenger seat of the truck, the news release said.

Dick was identified by the 17-year-old girl and a witness in a curbside line-up, the news release said.

Bail has been set at $5,000.
