CSI star arrested for drug possession

by Bob Sassone, posted Apr 29th 2008 4:22PM

DourdanCSI star Gary Dourdan was arrested at 5:21 AM and charged with suspected possession of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, and maybe other drugs as well.

He was arrested in Palm Springs, CA when police saw him sleeping in his car early in the morning. When they got to the car and investigated further, Dourdan was arrested for the above offense. He's out on bail.

This arrest will trigger approximately 327 different jokes about the CSI gang helping him and tests being done on the car, etc. Now we just have to figure out whether he's leaving CSI (official word is that Dourdan and the studio came to an understanding on his departure) because of his drug use or (as Keith wonders) he's doing the drugs because he's leaving the show.

Chicken, egg.

I am really sorry to hear about Gary and his drug arrest, but he is NOT the only celeb that this has happened to that's for sure!! Maybe he will go to rehab and get things back together again,especially if he has a wife and I know he has kids. Please give him some time and maybe he will clean up, because he's a wonderful actor. My husband and I watch CSI all the time. Also remember he is only human, it's not like he killed someone, but if he keeps it up he may kill himself and that WOULD a great loss.

well, seeing as the guy's a multi-millionaire from this gig i don't see the chicken/egg thing. he could take 5 years off and stillbe a-ok. you don't drive around with smack, blow and x (among other stuff?) unless you already have a serious problem...i think this has everything to do with why he was released from the show - seeing as this is the second main character this year and the on again off again william peterson thing (isn't he leaving soon too?) it'll be interesting to see how next season will pan out...

i hope he gets help - when i lived in venice i used to see him with his adorable young daughter at the grocery store and a cafe from time to time. he was a very nice guy.

So that's why he 'decided' to 'leave' the show. Okay.

Don't scare me like that. I was afraid it was Fred Thompson!

A talented actor throwing his life away. That is very sad.
