Troubled comedian Andy Dick had another run in with the law when he was arrested Monday for felony domestic battery.
The 55-year-old News Radio actor allegedly hit his boyfriend in the head with a liquor bottle, police sources told TMZ on Thursday.
His arrest is the latest in a string of legal troubles going back decades amid Dick’s struggles with alcohol and drug abuse.

According to police, Dick and his boyfriend had been at his home on Monday when they got into a heated argument that quickly turned physical.
After they were called, they determined there was enough evidence to arrest the comedian, as his boyfriend was allegedly bleeding from a sizable wound on his head.
It was a quick trip to jail for Dick, who was released after about three hours after posting a $50,000 bond.
But law enforcement sources say Monday night’s altercation was the second time police have been called to his home in two months for alleged domestic violence directed at his boyfriend.

The sources say Dick was previously arrested in October for hitting his partner in the face with a frying pan.
In June of this year, the Ben Stiller Show actor was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly attacking a male partner with a metal chair.
Dick’s then-fiancée Elisa Jordana, 33, revealed on her YouTube show Kermit And Friends that the comedian had ‘assaulted his lover Lucas,’ which police later confirmed.
‘He could have killed him,’ she said of the injured man, who had to go to the hospital for his injuries. ‘I saw pictures, I saw video; it’s not good.’
On her podcast, Jordana said that Dick could get ‘very aggressive’ when he was intoxicated, and she thought he had been spiraling out of control.
‘It was getting worse and worse and worse,’ she said. ‘Every day there was some kind of problem. There were signs something was going to happen.’
Dick also made his $50,000 bail after that altercation, but Jordana suggested he may have had money troubles, as she claimed he called her to a gathering he had with friends at Canter’s Deli in Los Angeles after none of the people could pay the bill.

In 2019, the actor was sentenced to 14 days in jail after being convicted of sexual battery for allegedly squeezing a woman’s rear end.
However, he was released after a single night due to jail overcrowding.
The same year, he was seen on video being slammed to the ground after he got into a fight with an Uber Eats driver while seemingly intoxicated.
He previously pleaded not guilty to one count of misdemeanor sexual battery in April 2018 after he allegedly groped an Uber driver’s crotch.
Dick’s estranged wife Lena Sved received a domestic violence restraining order against him in 2018, which required him to move out of their home and remaining 100 yards away from her and their adult children: Lucas, 33, Jacob, 27, and Meg, 24.
The comedian has a history of inappropriate sexual touching, and he was arrested in 2010 for allegedly grabbing a man’s genitals while intoxicated at a West Virginia bar.
Two years earlier, he was arrested for allegedly grabbing a 17-year-old girl’s top and pulling it down to expose her breasts.
He was later found with marijuana and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drug and battery charges, for which he was sentenced to three years of probation.

In 2007, Dick grouped Ivanka Trump during an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
She was the second guest after he had already been featured, and he kicked off her segment by asking for a ‘big, wet kiss,’ the host told Extra.
He escalated his advances by rubbing his hands against her thighs until Kimmel ordered him to stop, but after trying to grab her hair he was pulled off stage by security staff.
