Andy Dick was arrested again on January 13, 2023. The most recent arrest happened after cops responded to a call at around 12.30 am local time from the 15700 block of Grand Avenue, where the individual on the other side claimed that the comedian was drunk.

Dick was discovered in an intoxicated state, and while the officers checked the records, the comedian was found to be a s*x offender who had not registered himself so far. An investigation had been launched, following which Dick was taken to the Cois Byrd Detention Center.

The charge of being a s*x offender was linked to an incident in 2018 where he grabbed a Uber driver’s private part. At the time, he was sentenced to 90 days of prison time.

The court ordered him to register himself as a s*x offender and complete Alcoholic Anonymous sessions and S*xual Compulsion Anonymous sessions along with mental health counseling sessions. Additionally, he was asked to pay compensation to the victim and was ordered probation for 12 months after his release.

Andy Dick’s legal problems started in 1999 when he was driving under the influence. He was charged with cocaine and cannabis possession at the time.

Later, in 2008, the comedian was also arrested for possession of cannabis and alprazolam but was released on a $5,000 bail. Dick was then arrested in January 2010 on charges of s*xual abuse against a bartender and a patron and was released on a $60,000 bail.

Additionally, he was arrested two years ago for felony assault with a weapon, and according to his fiancée Elisa Jordana, he harmed his partner Lucas. He was later released on a $50,000 bond.
