Comedian Andy Dick arrested in W.Va. for sex abuse
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Actor and comedian Andy Dick has been charged with two felony counts of sexual abuse in West Virginia.
Dick was arraigned Saturday afternoon in Cabell County Magistrate Court. Court documents say Dick is accused of grabbing a bouncer’s crotch earlier in the morning at the Rum Runners bar in Huntington. Magistrate Patty Verbage Spence set bail at $60,000.
Spence set a Feb. 2 preliminary hearing date for the 44-year-old Dick, who was in Huntington to perform at the Funny Bone Comedy Club. Funny Bone managing partner Tom Schaefer posted Dick’s bail, and said Dick is “absolutely still on the schedule for Saturday and Sunday.”
A telephone message left at the office of Dick’s manager, Michael Green, was not immediately returned Saturday.
