Orange County, California Sheriff’s deputies were called to O’Neill Regional Park May 11 after a man called 911 and said that actor and comedian Andy Dick had sexually assaulted him.

A spokesperson for the Orange County Sheriff’s Department told media outlets that deputies arrived at a campground at the park at around 9 a.m. that morning and contacted the caller, a man who said he was the victim of the assault.

After an investigation, Dick, 56, was arrested on suspicion of felony sexual battery and booked into Orange County jail, Sgt. Scott Steinle said and added that the victim was taken to a hospital for an assault examination.

The arrest and the prelude to the arrest was apparently live streamed on YouTube by a channel labeled Captain Content’s RV.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Dick has been arrested several times on allegations including drug possession, groping and more. In November of 2021, Dick was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department on a felony domestic violence charge.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ at the time that Dick allegedly hit his boyfriend on the head with a liquor bottle, leaving a deep cut.

He was also arrested in late June 2021 on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon — a metal chair — on a man identified by Page Six as ex-lover Lucas Crawford. The arrest led to a breakup between Dick and then-fiancée Elisa Jordana.

Dick told Page Six that Crawford first “body-slammed” his leg in that brawl. Dick said he threw the chair after his leg was broken.
