Dourdan Charged With Drug Possession

Gary Dourdan (Warrick Brown) faces felony charges.

CSI Files originally reported that Dourdan was arrested April 28. He was found in his car, parked on the wrong side of the road with the interior light on. When a police officer approached the car, he said Dourdan appeared disoriented and possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol. A search of the vehicle uncovered what appeared to be drugs, and Dourdan was taken to jail and released on $5,000 bail.

Dourdan later issued a statement in which he apologized for his actions and said he was happy to cooperate with the authorities. In the same statement, Dourdan claimed the drugs found in his car did not belong to him.

Despite this claim, Dourdan has been charged with felony possession of cocaine, heroin and ecstacy. The CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star is scheduled to appear in court on May 28 in Indio, California (approximately 130 miles east of Los Angeles).

The original news is from the Associated Press.
