Exiting “CSI” star Gary Dourdan, 41, was arrested in Palm Springs Monday for possession of narcotics and dangerous drugs after a patrol officer found a whole bunch of illegal substances in his vehicle.
At 5:12 a.m., a cop spotted Dourdan asleep in a car that was parked on the wrong side of the road, according to reports. The actor appeared disoriented and under the influence of either alcohol or drugs once he woke up.
Upon search of the vehicle, police found cocaine, heroin, Ecstasy, various prescription drugs, and drug paraphernalia. Dourdan, whose real name is Robert Gary Durdin, was booked at the Palm Springs jail and released at 10:30 a.m. Monday on $5,000 bail.
Rumors are already flying that drugs may be at the root of the actor’s reported exit from “CSI” at the end of this season when his contract is due to expire.
