CSI’s Warrick Pulled Over to Prevent DUI - Yeah.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star Gary Dourdan has been charged with three felony counts of drug possession, Reuters reports. The 41-year-old actor, born Robert Gary Durdin, was charged Wednesday (May 7th) with possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy stemming from an April 28th arrest in Palm Springs, California. Police found him asleep in the driver’s seat of a car shortly before dawn, just hours after he attended the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in nearby Indio. Police say the car was parked on the wrong side of the road and Dourdan appeared disoriented and “possibly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.” A search of the car turned up the three drugs plus various prescription medications and drug paraphernalia.

Dourdan was booked and jailed for about five hours, then released on $5,000 bail. A Riverside County District Attorney’s spokesperson said that under the state’s Proposition 36, the actor will likely avoid jail time if he successfully completes a drug-diversion program should he be convicted. Dourdan is due for arraignment May 28th.

In an email to a friend at Access Hollywood that leaked over the weekend, Dourdan said he’d pulled over to “prevent a DUI.” He also insisted, “The luggage carrying whatever they found was not mine and my tests have been coming back negative.”

Dourdan has portrayed forensics investigator Warwick Brown since CSI signed on eight years ago. He recently announced he was not renewing his contract with the hit CBS drama. His last appearance on CSI airs May 15th.
