Actor and comedian Andy Dick was charged Friday with public intoxication. And failure 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. After a report of an intoxicated person, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Office said.
Dick did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Nor did a lawyer who before represented him.
Dick was charged with aggravated sexual battery in Orange County last year. Though he was never charged and authorities said the victim was apparently uncooperative.
An attorney who represented Dick in the case. Daniel Kapelowitz, called the case “totally bogus.” And said at the time that his client was often falsely accused.
He pleaded not guilty but a jury convicted him last year. And sentenced him to 90 days in jail, the Los Angeles Times reported.
As part of the case, Dick was required to register as a sex offender. And complete 52 Alcoholics Anonymous sessions, according to the Times.
