A Timeline Of Andy Dick’s Run-Ins With The Law

Andy Dick has been arrested on felony sexual battery charges after a man alleged the comedian molested him, according to TMZ.

Dick had been living among a group of people in their RVs, in Orange County, California, and live streaming their lives together on a popular YouTube channel, Deadline reported.

The comedian has a long history of inappropriate sexual touching and arrests, throughout the country.

Here is a quick snapshot of some of those incidents.

1999

In 1999, Dick pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession and misdemeanors for marijuana possession and possession of a smoking device, according to CBS News.

The Employee of the Month actor rammed his car into a pole and tried to run from the police, on foot, as reported by CNN.

Dick was ordered to repay the city of Los Angeles for the utility pole he crashed into and sentenced to three years’ probation.

2007

In 2007, a year before his first alleged sexual battery arrest, Dick was dragged off the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live after repeatedly touching Ivanka Trump. The pair were both scheduled guests on the show that night.

According to reporting by The Hollywood Reporter, Dick greeted Trump by rubbing his hands on her legs.

In a YouTube clip of the incident, Dick asks Trump “you don’t play up the glitter on your legs?” Trump attempted to laugh it off while trying to move his hand.

Kimmel said “Andy, don’t, please, don’t touch Ivanka… Don’t. Trump will kill both of us,” before Dick was escorted off.

2008

In 2008, Dick was arrested for theft and sexual battery in California. According to The Orange County Register, the comedian was “heavily intoxicated” and fondled the breast of a 17-year-old girl before attempting to pull her top down at a restaurant in Murrieta, California, a city that is 80 miles away from Los Angeles.

He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and drug charges and was ordered to serve three years of probation and wear an alcohol monitor for a year, USA Today reported. Dick did not face felony sexual battery charges.

In 2011, Dick was arrested and charged with two counts of felony first-degree sexual abuse, according to the Herald Dispatch.

In an indictment filed in Huntington, West Virginia, on Jan. 23, 2010, Dick allegedly grabbed a bouncer’s genitals and groped and kissed a patron at a nightclub during a comedy show he was performing in.

According to SI Live, Dick pleaded not guilty and accused the men of just wanting to “get money from a celebrity.” Dick was able to avoid prison because criminal charges were dropped after he completed a six-month alcohol addiction program.

Also, in 2011, Dick was sued for sexual assault by a man who attended a December 2010 performance at a Dallas nightclub. The man claimed during a skit, on stage, Dick put his genitals on his face, as reported by The Wrap.
