Yup, the great “wacktor” has been arrested again, said Perez Hilton, and the police report is hilarious. Not only did Dick allegedly grope a teenager, he also urinated in public and was identified in a curbside lineup. “Is a stint on Celebrity Rehab in his future?” If he’s lucky—he might be going to jail.
