Comedian Andy Dick arrested for public intoxication: All charges explained

Andy Dick, the comedian and actor, was arrested on Friday early morning in Lake Elsinore, California, for public intoxication. The police later found out that the 57-year-old had failed to register with Lake Elsinore Police Department on his due visit in a sexual offense case from May 2022 for which he was arrested. 

The sheriff’s deputies said that they got a call about an intoxicated person and when they arrived on the scene, they found the actor and comedian in an intoxicated state.

They said that Dick was arrested without any incident and was taken to the station and booked on public intoxication charges.

Upon arrival at the station, the deputies checked Dick’s records and found out that he was a sex offender and was not up to date on his registration. The charges relate to an incident from May 2022 when Dick was arrested by the police after being accused of sexual battery. The arrest was famously live-streamed.
