This isn't the first time Dick has has had a run-in with the law. In 2008 he was arrested in Murrieta, Calif., on drug and battery charges, and in 2010 he was arrested in West Virginia on two felony counts of sexual abuse. In 2018 Dick was charged with sexual battery and simple battery after a woman alleged that he squeezed her butt while passing her on the sidewalk in Los Angeles.

Dick has also been accused of sexual misconduct in professional settings. In 2017 he was fired from two films, Raising Buchanan and Vampire Dad, after reports surfaced that he allegedly groped and made inappropriate sexual advancements and lewd remarks to various individuals during production.

Dick was also removed from the set of Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2007 by the host himself after repeatedly touching another guest.
