Andy Dick

Andy Dick was arrested Saturday in West Virginia and charged with two counts of sexual abuse, according to The Associated Press.

The 44-year-old comedian was arraigned in Cabell County Magistrate Court, the news service reported. He's accused of grabbing a bouncer's crotch and groping and kissing a male patron at a bar in Huntington, W.V., according to court documents obtained by the AP.

"Andy is stunned by these allegations and we are strongly denying any criminal conduct," Dick's lawyer, Jeff Rubenstein, said in a statement. Dick was in Huntington to perform at a comedy club over the weekend.

The club's managing partner, Tom Schaefer, posted Dick's $60,000 bail and told the AP that Dick was still scheduled to perform.

Dick was most recently arrested in July 2008 on suspicion of drug possession and sexual battery — specifically for allegedly pulling down a 17-year-old girl's tank-top and bra. He is next due in court Feb 2.
