Comedian Andy Dick, 56, was arrested in Santa Barbara last week for allegedly burglarizing vacant property.
On October 13 at 5:45 p.m., Santa Barbara Police responded to reports of a person on the property of a vacant home that was under construction in the 1000 block of Conejo Road, reports KEYT News.
Dick was arrested by responding officers for felony residential burglary and was booked at the Santa Barbara County Main Jail. He was allegedly stealing power tools from the home, according to TMZ.
According to arrest records, Dick is being held on a $50,000 bond and is still in custody.
Dick pleaded not guilty to first-degree residential burglary, according to court documents. His public defender, Brian Mathis, released a statement following the arrest.
“The Santa Barbara County Office of the Public Defender represents Mr. Dick,” he said. “We are confident additional facts will come to light supporting Mr. Dick as this case moves forward.”
Dick was also arrested this past May in Orange County for felony sexual battery after allegedy assaulting an adult male at O’Neill Regional Park. Last summer he was also arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon followed by another assault charge months later.
What a Dick!
Basic- Don’t encourage him.
Never my kind of actor but still, that’s a big fall.
Lol, +1 Gentleman. LET’S GO!
Side note. WTF happened to this guy? I didn’t care for his brand, but he seemed successful…
That dude is pure crazy. Had a friend that Andy Dick ripped a backstage pass of his neck at a concert and ran away with it. Not to mention I’ve read he regularly steals and touches or assaults people.
I don’t think I’m going out on a limb to say addiction had something to do with this. Drug addiction, and the plethora of negative consequences is not funny.
Actors are not trustworthy.
