An officer saw Dourdan's car parked on the wrong side of the street with the interior light on and someone sleeping in the driver's seat at approximately 5:12 a.m. Monday, according to Palm Springs police Sgt. Mitch Spike.

The officer described Dourdan as disoriented and possibly under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The officer arrested Dourdan after locating suspected cocaine, heroin, Ecstacy, miscellaneous prescription drugs and paraphernalia. Dourdan was released on $5,000 bail at 10:30 a.m. Monday. A court date was not immediately scheduled.

Dourdan has played crime scene investigator Warrick Brown on CBS' "CSI" since 2000. Several celebrities were in town for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in nearby Indio, Calif. It was not immediately clear whether Dourdan attended the event.

Representatives for Dourdan did not immediately return phone calls Tuesday.

wow. heroin, coke, etc & let go within 5 hours after posting $5k. if this were me or you where do you think we'd still be?

[javagirl322]

Why, why, why with everything going for you?? Clean up you act....

[fcsakes]

Jesus! This guy has a great job, he probably isn't worried about health care costs, the price of gasoline, or whether he can afford a loaf of bread, plus he's strong, healthy and gorgeous besides - why oh why would he fuck around with his life like this???

I don't get people - I just don't.

[leftLibertarian]

What I don't get is why the government is arresting the guy like it's his mummy

[ibivi]

The answer is money. He can afford to buy all the drugs he wishes. He can be totally self-indulgent and get into trouble as a result. I hope he can get it together. He's on a very dangerous path.

So, I guess that crazy mug-shot of the drunk guy from 3 months ago really was him....
:-(

Keep your head up Gary! It will get better. Wishing you the best.

He'll check into reahab and be out in 6 weeks. No jail time, no fine. Unlike the millions in prison on lesser charges. Celebrity pays big time in court.

[chinacatsunflower]

yep. meanwhile if it was me or you and a little bit of reefer our lives would be ruined.

[rich3324]

Sure CSI will be letting him go soon.

Last night CSI reran the story about how Warrick was addicted to some drug.
I couldn't watch it. He does this drug induced sex romp that I didn't like to see the first time it was on.

[LivingStardust]

Gary. You're a good actor. Get your shit together, man.

[uheardme]

He's been going down hill since Roshumba left him. Sad.

[Rachel36]

That was in 1994. I think he's recovered since then.

[BigLib]

I guess he doesn't earn enough to hire a driver.

Gary....WTF are you thinking? A good show gig going and you're out of control with the junk...come on.
