Latest: U.S. funnyman Andy Dick has been released from jail following his arrest on Wednesday on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery.
The 42-year-old comic posted $5,000 (GBP2,500) 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, he was cited by police for urinating on the pavement and a building following a comedy club performance in Ohio.

There's something sad in all of this, and it would be a lot worse if Andy Dick had talent. But here he goes again, completely worked over by his own addictions. The latest incident happened outside a Buffalo Wild Wings in Murrieta, California, and involves Dick, marijuana, Xanax, and an unfortunate victim.
According to reports, the comedian groped a 17-year-old, and pulled down her tank top and bra to expose her breasts. He was arrested a short time later after the victim and a witness identified Dick after the truck he was a passenger in was pulled over by the local constabulary.
This guy's a mess. And there are certain messes out there who can be worth the trouble, whose talent is worth taking the risk, and who might benefit from a steady hand of reassurance. Robert Downey Jr. was one, for instance, hired for Ally McBeal while still losing to his demons.
