Andy Dick can’t keep his hands to himself

andydickmugshot

Is there anyone in the stand-up comedy world more skeevy and gross than Andy Dick? The guy is just creepy. Dick was arrested for sexual abuse over the weekend after he got a little too touchy-feely with a male patron and a bouncer at a comedy club in West Virginia. The club owner posted Dick’s bail, and the other guy, Jonathan Kraft, told TMZ he’s not pressing charges. The bouncer who was groped told police and TMZ that Dick seemed “out of it.” Shocking.

Andy Dick was arrested in West Virginia on two counts felony counts of sexual abuse in the first degree.

Dick was taken to the Western Regional Jail in Barboursville, where he was eventually released this afternoon. His bail was set at $60,000 (30k for each charge). We’re told the owner of the Funny Bone, where Dick performed last night, posted the bail.

Dick faces 1-5 years in prison if convicted.

According to the criminal complaint, Dick was talking to a guy when he “unexpectedly and without invitation grabbed the victim’s crotch, repeatedly groping then kissing him.”

Also in the complaint, a security guard at the bar says that Andy Dick “grabbed his crotch and began laughing” when the guard tried to give him an armband.

A press release from the Huntington Police Department says: “Based upon statements of two victims and independent witness accounts alleging that he had engaged in unwanted and uninvited groping of the two victims’ genital areas, Andrew R. Dick (AKA Andy Dick) of South Pasadena, Calif., was arrested and charged with two counts of Sex Abuse in the First Degree.”

Dick was in town performing at the Funny Bone in Huntington, WV. The manager, Tom Schaefer, told us Dick will go on Saturday and Sunday night as planned. He also tells us he was with Dick at Rum Runners and didn’t witness any of the alleged incidents.

Dick is currently on probation over an incident at a chicken joint, where he was arrested for sexual assault. He copped a plea to battery in 2008.

One of the guys Andy Dick is accused of sexually abusing tells TMZ he was merely doing his job when Andy grabbed him in his special place.

Phillip Daniels, a bouncer at Rum Runners in West Virginia, tells TMZ Andy Dick tried walking past him when he entered the bar, without taking a wristband. Daniels says he stopped the comedian, put the band on his wrist … that’s when Andy grabbed his crotch. Daniels tells us …when he pulled away, Dick laughed and walked off.

Daniels tells us, “You could tell he was really out of it. He was on something.”

The bouncer says someone called the cops and they showed up 20 minutes later, inquiring, “Where’s the comedian?” About eight cops went to the back, Daniels says, and walked out a few minutes later with Dick in handcuffs.

Andy Dick is facing two felony counts of sexual abuse — a male patron says Dick also groped him. If convicted, he could get five years in prison. And, Dick is also in hot water because he’s on probation for another assault case in L.A.

Andy’s lawyer says Andy “is stunned by these allegations” and he is “strongly denying any criminal conduct.”

The two people who told cops Andy Dick got a little grabby with them at a West Virgina bar weren’t the only ones he was allegedly little aggressive with on Friday night — but the third guy says … no harm, no foul.

TMZ obtained photos of Dick at Rum Runners in West Virginia right before his arrest. We spoke with Jonathan Kraft, the other guy in the pics, who tells us he’s a regular at the place and when he saw Dick, he went right up to him and bought him a drink.

Kraft says he introduced Dick to the owner and at one point, Kraft says Dick tried to kiss him. Kraft said he dismissed him, saying, “I’m not down with that.”

Kraft tells TMZ he has no intention of filing any complaint and he calls the charges against Dick “dumb” and “stupid,” saying, “He’s nationally known as a weird guy.”

Hey, Andy: greeting total strangers by grabbing their twig-and-berries might be socially acceptable in West L.A., but you were in West Virginia. Idiot. TMZ has photos of Dick just before the arrest, and it’s pretty obvious that he has no concept of “personal space,” but it doesn’t look like he’s forcing himself on anyone. Still, given the fact that Andy Dick is an all-around creep, drunk, druggie and loser, with a long history of stupid behavior, I can’t say he didn’t do it.

    Is he gay ?

    With a face like that no wonder he’s Chester the Molester.

    I hope I can pre-empt all the “Hurr hurr WV is full of rednecks” comments by saying that WV is really a cool place. My out and proud, very butch cousin is moving to the stereotypical “small town full of bigots” where our family is from, and she’s never had any problems with anyone. Honestly, most people just don’t care, as long as you keep your hands to yourself, unlike Andy Dick. WV gets a bad rap, but it’s God’s country, it’s absolutely beautiful and the people really aren’t anything like the stereotypes, at least not in southern WV. And being from there, I know…believe me.

    I think being groped by anyone, gay or straight, is disturbing and I cannot blame anyone for calling the cops. It’s still a sexual assault and while I probably wouldn’t have called the cops if it happened to me (unless I told them to knock it off and they didn’t), I can see why someone would. And it could happen anywhere…at least anywhere that Andy Dick hangs out!

    He needs to join Tiger in Hattiesburg. Oh wait, maybe that’s his plan.

  5. lilred says:

    @Black cat, he claims he’s bisexual.

  6. Jazz says:

    Didn’t he grope a 17 year old recently by pulling down her top? This guy just doesn’t learn.

  7. snowball says:

    Why would anyone rag on West Virginia when the story is about Andy Dick molesting a couple of people at a bar?

    Anyway, Andy will surely find many men in prison who will make sure he plays with their twigs and berries.

    This guy’s been a trainwreck for as long as I can remember.

  8. ChickenTetrazzini says:

    snowball-

    People ALWAYS find a way to rag on WV, or any other rural type place. This site seems to be a little bit better than most, but I guess I am perpetually on the defensive about WV, just because of all the stereotypes. LOL I don’t mean to sound like a total ass, I say it’s a cool place but then I’m not really representing it too well, huh? 🙂

    @Chicken Tetrazini I am with you babe! I grew up in the Appalachian mountians of Eastern Ky and Huntington was our closest large town. People are nice there, it is a pretty city with a downtown college and a quiet sweet vibe. I think people who put down rural places are just ignorant poor things. As for Andy Dick I guess this is a set back to his appearance on Sober House..oops maybe next time sobriety will work out for him!

  10. Boo says:

    Great…now I’m going to have nightmares!

  11. ChickenTetrazzini says:

    Kathie-

    It’s probably for the best that so many people think Appalachia is this backward hellhole, because that way it STAYS rural and beautiful. I’ve never been to Huntington, we’re from a tiny town between Lewisburg and Beckley. There are ignorant people everywhere though, when I lived near DC (which is supposed to be SOOO tolerant and diverse) there were more jerks there in a 10 mile radius than I’ve ever seen in all the places I’ve been in Appalachia. It’s funny how people are, isn’t it?

  12. MSat says:

    Hey all – before we go any further down that path, let’s clarify that in no way was my post mean to slam WV. I only meant to say that Andy Dick may well be able to meet his pals in his neighborhood LA bar by grabbing their penises, but that doesn’t fly anywhere else outside his weird little bubble of Hollywood wackos. I was trying to make a clever connection between “West LA” and “West VA.” That is all.

  13. coucou says:

    This takes me back to the story of Beckham’s balls being bounced by that Italian tv journalist…why is Andy Dick getting so much heat and she’s not?

    I’m not quite sure, however, that Mr. Dick is worth defending. He’s totally looking crazy in that last pic, man, like Phil Spector before he spun out of control. Red alert!

  14. ChickenTetrazzini says:

    Msat-

    No, i know you aren’t, I was just saying that some people (nobody here yet though!) seem to do that whenever anyone brings up a more rural, “country” type place. LOL like I said before, I know I’m a little too defensive about my home state…I need to work on that!

  15. nana says:

    this is the same guy who was thrown off Jimmy Kimmel for touching Ivanka Trump. He is disgusting and maniac.
    He needs to be in jail. He is Dick.

  16. K.L. says:

    It’s ok, ChickenTetra: I’m originally from New Martinsville, WV, small town WV as small town WV can get, and I’ve had to be on the defense most of my life for it. So, I understand! We do have a beautiful state, which is too often overshadowed with a backwoods image. I too need to calm down with thinking that my home state is being judged. 🙂

  17. snapdragon says:

    i don’t want to think about andy dick’s hands touching anything. ever.

  18. Maleficent says:

    @Chicken Tetra- I went white water rafting years ago in the Beckly area. It was wonderful, and you are right, so beautiful!

    @nana

    Dick is a dick?
