Jamming in the VIP section doesn't put you above the law.
At least that's what Andy Dick discovered when he was busted for lighting up a joint at the Coachella music festival in Indio, California, last week, according to the dirt-digging folks at The Smoking Gun.
Dick was partying in an exclusive area near the stage on May 2, when he was spotted by a security guard firing up a doobie with his Bic lighter.
The rent-a-cop collared the comedian and uncovered a small marijuana stash in a baggie.
Dick was handed over to the Indio Police Department, who cited him for misdemeanor pot possession of less than an ounce, removed his VIP wristband and kicked him off the concert grounds.
The funnyman was one of 29 people busted on the closing night of the two-day Coachella festival. Dick is scheduled to appear in Riverside County Superior Court on June 16.
It's déjà vu for the onetime News Radio star, who pleaded guilty in 1999 to felony cocaine possession and misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession and possession of a smoking device following a car crash in Hollywood.
His record was wiped clean in 2001 after he completed an 18-month rehab program.
The upcoming court date should have no impact on Dick's new MTV show, a parody of NBC's The Apprentice. Taping on The Assistant, in which contestants compete for a job at a Hollywood production company, a new car and maybe even a stash of munchies, wrapped last week. The eight-episode series bows this summer.
