Last week, Andy Dick was taken into custody on suspicion of stealing power equipment, and he is still detained at this time.
Page Six was able to get jail documents from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office, which show that the disgraced comedian, who is 56 years old, was detained on October 13 and has a bail amount of $50,000.
Court filings indicate the Santa Barbara County D.A. Dick was accused of domestic burglary in the first degree, but he entered a not guilty verdict to the accusation.
We were informed by the Santa Barbara Police Department that they received a dispatch call of a burglary in progress. After police arrived, the homeowner said that they didn’t know Dick and that he didn’t have consent to be there.
After determining a likely motive, the police officers went to Dick’s home and arrested him there. As the proceeding of this case continues, Andy’s attorney, public defender Brian Mathis, has expressed his confidence that new facts that favor Mr. Dick will emerge as the investigation continues.
According to TMZ, after taking power equipment, Dick was apprehended while attempting to depart the site where he had been caught.
Dick has a long history of running into legal difficulties. A man identified only as “JJ” said that the In the Army Now star, played by Dick, molested him while he was sleeping, leading police to make an arrest of the actor in May during a broadcast for felony assault. A few days ago, after paying ten percent of his $25,000 bail, the former cast member of The Andy Dick Show was freed from jail.
After being accused of grabbing a woman’s buttocks in 2018, Dick entered a not plead guilty to both the misdemeanor battery charge and the misdemeanor sexual battery charge.
In 2019, he was detained for reportedly molesting a driver for a ride-hailing service, and in November 2021, he was jailed for reportedly striking his lover with a liquor bottle. Both of these incidents occurred in 2019.
