'CSI' star: Felony drug possession

Don't know whether this should go in the TV/Movies section, or here. I guess he can kiss his gig on CSI goodbye.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) â?? "CSI" co-star Gary Dourdan has been charged with felony possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy stemming from his arrest last month, prosecutors said.

The 41-year-old actor was arrested after police found him asleep in his car in Palm Springs on April 28. He was allegedly parked on the wrong side of the street with the car's interior light on.

Prosecutors said Dourdan is scheduled to appear in court in Indio, about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, on May 28. The criminal complaint was dated Tuesday.

A call to Dourdan's attorneys wasn't immediately returned early Thursday.

Dourdan has played crime scene investigator Warrick Brown on CBS' "CSI" since 2000.

Several celebrities were in Palm Springs for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in nearby Indio.

Maybe that explains the preview for next weeks show...Seems like his character is in a bunch of trouble, writing him off?

Here's an article, published a few weeks before Dourdan's arrest, that says he "decided to quit the show at the end of the current season".

I guess he made enough money from it so that he can afford to nod out wherever, and whenever, he wants to. Or possibly the studio knew of his drug problems and gave him the boot, but let it look like he was retiring on his own.

he says the drugs were not his. look at the forums on his website. i really liked this guy on CSI! im pissed he's not on anymore
