Andy Dick has managed to keep a relatively low profile for while, but now it's being reported that the actor was arrested and detained in an L.A. jail Friday night on suspicion of felony grand theft.
TMZ reported that the 48-year-old troubled actor stole a man's necklace last week. The necklace was worth $1000.
Dick was reportedly riding his bike on Hollywood Blvd when he saw a man wearing the pricey chain, and approached him, asking if he could see it. The man, recognizing Dick, gladly handed the chain over for him to look at, and before he knew it, the actor was riding away with the chain. The man reported the incident, but Dick remained uncaught... until last night, that is.
Police spotted Dick in a heavily-trafficked area in Hollywood at around 11 p.m. on Friday night, E! News reports. He was arrested on suspicion of felony grand theft and spent the night in jail. Dick was released at around 5:20 a.m. the following morning when his $25,000 bond was posted.
He has a court date scheduled for December 4. If he is convicted of the felony, his maximum sentence could be 3 years in prison. If he's charged with a misdemeanor instead, his sentence would be up to 1 year in prison.
There's no word on if he was under the influence of anything at the time of the theft, although the actors has dealt with drug addiction. In 2009, he was featured on the reality show Sober Hose in an attempt to overcome it.
