The arrest came hours after NBC announced it would not renew Dick's series NewsRadio and capped a troubled season for the comedian who can charitably be called eccentric. After a stint in a rehab clinic last year, Dick was threatened with arrest for allegedly exposing himself during a performance at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville.
