West Philly raised "CSI" star Gary Dourdan arrested on drug charges

Gary Dourdan
West Philly and Willingboro raised actor Gary Dourdan, of "CSI," was busted in Palm Springs yesterday and is alleged to have been in possession of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs, TMZ is reporting. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the actor was asleep in his car at 5:21 AM when they approached the vehicle and made the bust. The site, which has had previous run-ins with the actor, says he posted $5,000 bail and was released. An e-mail we sent Dourdan's spokeswoman was not immediately returned this afternoon. Dourdan had previously confessed his affinity for marijuana to Philadelphia magazine in an May 2007 interview with Richard Rys, but the Rastafari's puffing practices, are a far cry from the hard drugs he's now allegedly using.

I think there was an episode of CSI when he used all of the above, while pursuing a topless dancer.

Alleged to possess drugs? Either he had the drugs on him or in his car or he didnt, there is no alleged.

Fire him and give his job to a more deserving candidate.

It would be more interesting to see which actors DIDN'T abuse drugs and alcohol.

Another career comes screeching to a halt, hopefully. Is it me or is the bail which was $5000.00 a bit lower than it should have been? CSI for this dude now stands for Cocaine Sniffing Idiot...
