Actor and comedian Andy Dick was charged Friday with public intoxication and failing to register as a sex offender, authorities said.
Dick, 57, was taken into custody without incident in Lake Elsinore, about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles, following a report of an intoxicated person, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said.
Jail records show he was booked just before 1 a.m. and released approximately two hours later.
Dick did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did an attorney who previously represented him.
Dick was charged last year with felony sexual assault in Orange County, though he was never charged and authorities said the apparent victim was uncooperative.
An attorney who represented Dick in the case, Daniel Kapelovitz, called the case «totally false» and said at the time that his client is often falsely accused.
In a separate case, Dick was accused of groping a rideshare driver in April 2018 in West Hollywood. He pleaded not guilty, but a jury found him guilty last year and sentenced him to 90 days in prison. Los Angeles Times reported.
As part of the case, Dick was required to register as a sex offender and complete 52 sessions of Alcoholics Anonymous, among other terms, according to the Times.
Jail records show he was released on December 23.
