Details surrounding the arrest and alleged assault were not immediately disclosed by authorities, KABC-TV reported.
Dick’s arrest was first reported by TMZ.
In November 2021, Dick was arrested in the Los Angeles area on a felony domestic violence charge for allegedly hitting his boyfriend on the head with a liquor bottle, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Dick was also arrested in late June 2021 on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon after a man claimed the comedian hit him with a metal chair, the newspaper reported.
In 2018, the comedian was charged with one count of sexual battery and one count of simple battery, stemming from an incident where a woman filed a report claiming Dick touched her inappropriately and made lewd comments as he walked past her on a sidewalk, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Dick’s bail for Wednesday’s arrest was set at $25,000, online records show. He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
