U.S. funnyman Andy Dick has been released from jail following his arrest on Wednesday (16Jul08) on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery.

The 42-year-old comic posted $5,000 bail following his arrest in Murieta, California, after onlookers reported his inappropriate behaviour.

Witness told officers Dick had walked up to a 17-year-old female outside a chicken wings food restaurant and "grabbed her tank top and bra and pulled them down and exposed her breasts".

Cops stopped Dick and friends at a nearby discount grocery store after they had driven away from the establishment in a truck. Officers who found marijuana and Xanax in Dick's pockets during a curbside search added the star was "extremely intoxicated".

The latest arrest is not Dick's first run-in with police - the funnyman was arrested in 2004 for indecent exposure when he flashed his bum at a local McDonald's. Just last year, (Aug07) he was cited by police for urinating on the pavement and a building following a comedy club performance in Ohio. (JMA/PYN/ZN)
