CSI star Gary Dourdan charged with drug possession

Actor allegedly found with heroin, cocaine and ecstasy

Gary Dourdan has been formally charged with possessing drugs.

The CSI actor was found asleep in his car, on the wrong side of the road, in California on 28 April.

Police allegedly found heroin, cocaine and ecstasy in the vehicle before arresting him.

‘If convicted, Dourdan faces a probation term and could be required to complete a drug treatment program,’ says Michael Jeandron, a rep for the Riverside County District Attorney.

‘If he completes it, the charges will be dismissed.’

Gary, 41, has spoken out about the arrest – telling fans he’s disappointed in himself.

‘Obviously I am embarrassed to find myself in this situation,’ he tells People. ‘I am profoundly grateful to everyone for their support.’
