Andy Dickhas been sentenced to jail — but is already a free man.
The comedian, who has been embroiled in a sexual battery case, was recently sentenced to 14 days behind bars for two charges — one for sexual battery and one for simple battery, TMZreports.
The sentencing came after Dick, 53, failed to serve his court-mandated community service, according to the outlet.
The reason for his release was reportedly due to overcrowding in the jail, according to TMZ.
A rep for Dick and a spokesperson at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The latest jail sentence comes more than a year after Dick was charged with misdemeanor sexual battery and misdemeanor simple battery for allegedly groping a woman who passed him on the streets of Los Angeles.
But that was far from the first time that the comedian wasaccused of inappropriate sexual behavior.
In October, Dick pleaded not guilty in court after being accused of groping an Uber driver in April 2018 and charged with one misdemeanor count of sexual battery, the Los Angeles County District Attorney confirmed to PEOPLE.
The Uber driver who accused Dick claimed the comedian had reached over and grabbed his genitals during a car ride using the rideshare service, according toTMZ.
Dick’s attorney Daniel Kapelovitz denied the allegations in a statement to theLos Angeles Times, saying the “allegations against Andy Dick are completely baseless.”

Then in Oct. 2017, sources toldTheHollywood Reporterin an article that the actor groped, kissed and licked people’s cheeks, as well as made sexual proposals, involving at least four people on the production of the independent featureRaising Buchanan.
THRalso reported that Dick had been fired from the low-budget comedyVampire Dadafter similar accusations.
Dick responded toTHRconcerning theRaising Buchananaccusations, denying the groping claims. However, he confirmed that he did lick people.
He also admitted toTHRthat he propositioned people on set.
“Of course I’m going to proposition people,” Dick said. “I’m single, depressed, lonely and trying to get a date. They can just say no, and they probably did and then I was done.”

The actor said that the different sexual climate in his youth makes him unsure of what the appropriate behavior is now.
