Los Angeles police have arrested comedian Andy Dick on suspicion of grand theft.

The arrest of the former NewsRadio actor happened late on November 7 in Hollywood.

The celebrity gossip website TMZ.com, which first reported the arrest, said Dick allegedly stole the necklace of a man he encountered on Hollywood Boulevard last week.

Police saw Dick riding his bike on the night of November 7 and made the arrest.

Dick posted bail on November 8. A call to his agent was not immediately returned.

In addition to NewsRadio, Dick briefly had his own programme on MTV and has had roles in several movies, including Dude, Where’s My Car? and Old School.

He’s had several mostly minor run-ins with police. He was arrested most recently in 2011 on suspicion of being drunk-and-disorderly in a California restaurant.
