CSI Star Arrested For Drugs

dourdanmug.jpgHothead Gary Dourdan is in a ton of hot water.

According to TMZ.com, the CSI star was arrested yesterday on suspicion of possessing heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs. Police say they found the actor asleep in his car at 5:21 AM in Palm Springs, when they approached his vehicle and found his stash.

Gary was then taken to the station, where he posted $5000 bail and left.

Here's a little equation I like to live my life by:

Asleep in your car + lots of drugs = NO GOOD.

Come on let's not over-react. The guy was obviously just trying out how to best play his character for CSI. Remember just like Brit was role playing for an up and coming movie, when she went umbrella whacking. LOL

Amazing how people have it all and just piss it away, Gary was one of my favorites.

Its a waste. Im sad to see him go from CSI, although i dont think he should be kicked off, The network should make an episode or a few for that matter, about this insodent.

s said:

man i really like the show guess i'll keep to law & order

I THINK IT WAS TERRIBLE THAT HE HAD ALL THAT STUFF ON HIM. BUT DOESN'T HE GET SOME CREDIT THAT HE WAS SLEEPING IN HIS CAR THEN DRIVING IT.

VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THIS. I HAVE A SON WHO IS FIGHTING A DRUG HABIT AS MANY OF US DO..MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH HIM THAT HE CAN OVERCOME THIS. I AM HAPPY THAT HE DID NOT HURT HIMSELF OR ANYONE ELSE I WILL PUT HIM ON MY
PRAYER LIST THAT HE GETS HELP AND WILL STAY SOBER.

Gary is one of my few favorite actors and still is. Honestly, I do agree that celebs have lots of money and sometimes, they just throw it away for stupid crap. BUT, we do forget that sometimes, these celebs are only human and they go threw a significant amount of pressure to keep their status, keep the endorsements coming and they have to get paid. Actors and actresses do work hard to get where they are and although, we contribute to their celebrity reputation, all the hard work comes from them. Who wouldn't turn to drugs? I'm not advocating it but we are no saints in this world and I'm sure over sixty percent of the population tried something before because of stress and being burnt out.

Peggy said:


I really hated to to see this happen. He was one of my favorites. What a terrible waste...poor guy. I hope he gets his life straigntened out...sounds like he needs help......and most of all, prayers.

HOORAY !!!! for "terri tambe" This attitude is GOOD for Every One. NO JUDGEMENT, NO CRITICIZM, Just Prayers !!

GOOD IDEA !! Maybe some of the REST of US should take Note !!

Nita said:

If he needs someplace to stay he can stay with me. He do not have to sleep in the car. He can sleep with me anyday of the week. SO he had a little drugs in the car. Who says they are not someone who was sleep in the car as well. Where is the trace evedence? I am just saying noone seen the show last night. It was not his faut.

Edna Kumler said:

its a shame,,,hes a really good actor and will be missed,hes one of the best,makes it all seem so real...

Mary said:

I am sorry to hear about Gary he was a good actor and I will keep him in my prayers. Sometimes actors get cause up in what is a actor's part and what is real. I look at CSI show last night where he was taking pills and stated he was taking them to keep awake and he was question about the pills he was taking and why???? by he coworker. He looked for real high on drugs. He is a great actor, hope this will turn his life around.

kitty said:

CoolLinda -you are right. People shouldn't just write him off because he "may" have a drug problem. Look at Robert Downey. Also, if he had all that stuff in his car (that's a pretty dangerous cocktail) it may be a blessing in disguise that he got caught, so he can get some help and get back on track. He is a good actor, and fine too.
But I am not really hip though on what's happeninig with his career. He was already getting booted from CSI BEFORE this incident, right?
Maybe he can get a job on Law and Order.

NIkki said:

Mrbobc55....you are an immature and disrespectful. There is no sense in attacking someones religious beliefs. Prayer is the strongest medicine...and this world sadly needs a lot more of it.

Tracie said:

I was so shocked to hear about this, Gary is one of my favorite actors on the show. I hope they decide to keep him on the show. If the drugs were for his personal use, really hope he gets some help. LOVE YA Gary!!!!!!!!!

LPV said:

I CAN'T BELIVE THAT!!! I LOVE THIS MAN!!! I LOVE CSI!! POOR GARY, BUT THAT WAS SO STUPID!!

CLB said:

He is still a great ACTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sweetfox said:

All of you should know from watching CSI and Law & Order, someone is "innocent till proven guilty". One would need
a blood test to prove if they were in his system. My Gosh! You guys have him kicked off the show.And, some of you are moving on to another show all because of this. Calm down! Give the guy a break!

Ginger said:

It saddens my heart greatly that he is apparently running away from something that causes him enough pain to want to be numb...but hey come on guys..there is not one of us here that has not messed up or that does not have secrets...Instead of being a hypocrit and putting him down i want to be the kind of person that takes a moment to try and understand and embrace the situation as it is...People do those kind of drugs to be numb...i ask God for healing for him and inner peace...maybe this will open his eyes and he will return to being the man we all assumed he was and that he probably is...we all fall short...Thanks for listening...

mad said:

So he made a mistake like we all haven't a time or two....he probably will be critized for all of this..... but no one knows the real story behind it but him.... I feel sorry for him because of all the stuff that everyone is already saying about him, but until you know the whole story behind what's going on everyone just needs to keep there mouth shut and go on like nothing happened because it really isn't anyones business but his..... and just because they are a celebrity everyone has to make such a big deal out of nothing.... if they weren't popular no one would give a crap..... so just back off and leave all of them alone....

Rhonda said:

Surrender!

kasie faith said:

Hooray "CoolLinda" You are right although he MIGHT have a drug problem he's human and who wouldn't do drugs being under all that pressure. Look at how many GREAT actors have been on drugs. Thier only human just like any one else.

sherri said:

My heart goes out to him and his family,drug addiction is,its even harder to admit.Its the first step admitting you have a problem and knowing you can't do it alone.God is good,just reach out to him he will carry you through.He is most definately one of my favorite actors!

Cat said:

Wow alot like Warrick on the last episode before the strike, he was all jacked up with that stripper! But ya know we all do stupid shit, the only reason its even a big deal is because he's some what famous cause of CSI!

latesha forbes said:

I do not believe he would be capable of being a drug addict it just doesnt fit him well i think he's probably being set up because he's an actor he's better then that

kelsey said:

so he had a few drugs in his car, so what big deal. you are all acting like you have never messed up a time or two in your lives, i am sure many of you have even done drugs in the past. Everyone is just making a big deal over it because he is on television it wouldnt even of made the tabloids had he been an everyday guy. as for me csi was and is still my favorite tv show and gary plays one of my favorite characters. i will still continue to watch and hope that even though hes been booted he gets his life back together. who knows maybe one day they will bring him back. i hope so anyways!!!!!!!

Kathleen Webb said:

Prayers will help.....and why is it any of our business anyway?
I love the program and the actor and will continue to do so.

Beverley said:

ok I love you very you agood actor .
i miss watching .
i live in south austalia
we dont get channel 9 now so me can see CSI .

noexcusesneeded said:

Again if you are a famous actor and you can afford a driver why don't you hire one, why are actors stupid, I know if I had that kind of money I would hire a driver to take me from point a to point b, nuff said. As for the drugs, how do we know they weren't props for his show, (*insert sarcasm*)

lol do stupid things, and it will eventually catch up to you.

sheila said:

I can not believe this, but I stopped watching the show,after
they rescued the Sarah character and she wanted to leave town or something.But anyway,I hope he gets it together,he's so cute.

Carmel from Australia said:


People shouldn't be to quick to judge other people, it shows
clearly Gary in under a lot stress, especially having to deal
with getting booted from CSI. And of course, prayers are
the only thing that can really help!!!

KrazyRedneckWoman said:

GOD is the only one that is perect. Not human beings. We should not judge Gary Dourdan. He needs our prayers. He is a DAMN good actor. I will watch him on C.S.I. for as long as he is on the show. WE ALL NEED TO PRAY THAT HE GETS THE HELP TO OVER COME THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kaypee said:

I'm sad to hear of this story-I like Gary. Drugs hurt so many. You are in my prayers.

TAMMIE said:

HOPE U NOT JOKING MRBOBC55 CAUSE IT IS NOT FUNNY! AMERICA NEEDS PRAYER BAD!

Ethel said:

What is Wrong with you Gary? You do not need Drugs to help you with your Life. TRY GOD AND you will be HEALED !!!!
DONATE YOUR EXTRA MONEY TO A CHURCH OR SOMEONE THAT REALLY NEEDS IT
GOD BLESS AND I WILL PRAY FOR YOU . I LOVE CSI AND I WILL NOT STOP WATCHING THE SHOW!@!!!

chipmary said:

Addiction is an Illness. You folk who are saying " Just say NO" Don't really have a clue. I Think Gary is an intelligent, thoughtful person. Obviously he's in trouble. But to say, hey stupid, hire a driver, is missing the whole point. People who are suffering from this disease don't process information properly, they make bad decision after bad decision. There is no doubt in my mind that he has an addiction problem. You don't get caught with heroin in your car unless you are out of control.
That does not make me think less of him, nor his acting ability...I love his character and I think he's a good actor.
I hope that the producers of CSI keep him on. Heck, I once worked for a boss who was such an alcoholic that they had to insure him driving company vehicles for a cool million dollars.
Remember, it's a disease!!!

Chattykathy said:

WoW it is so nice to see postings that are not killing the guy off. Yes I like him too. When I heard the story he was the first person I thought of, why I don't know. It is so sad to hear but with all the pressure and those idoits that have nothing better to do but take pictures and follow these actors around. No wonder they need to found a way to get away from all of it. I know he will get his shit together and with the help of his co--actors. The sad thing is something bad has to happen before the police will ban these idiots from follow actors around, so we are playing the waiting game.. Again nice to see the postings

durangogal said:

he was one of my faves... instead of hating him lets pray for him....

nora george said:

Amanda said:

man that sucks that he was arrested but he still rocks so i will continue to watch my favorite show i like las vegas too but miami is the top fav.so i have to say is Gary stop partying so hard and keep making intense csi shows..one of your #1 fans!

La Donna Horejsi said:

You know, we all screw up. I am a recovering addict (8 years now) and if people had thrown me away and instantly thought that I was a good-for-nothing human being, I would not be here today. I believe everyone should have a chance in life to fix the wrong. I've been given many chances and I'm still working on fixing the wrong.....its a "One Day At A Time" deal. Don't judge him by his actions....NOT ONE OF YOU ARE PERFECT!!!!! The only One who is Perfect died on a cross over 2000 years ago.....

I love you, Gary, I believe!!!!!!

Helen Marie said:

Hello,I just want to say that I think your a great actor..and I and my family stand by you..god be with you..much love..cherokee

jellyivory2bee said:

Gary God has healing Power when yu step out on FAITH and BELIEVE in Him. So forget the naysayers stand up and be BLESSED..remember God has the final say in all good things.
those of yu who have NEVER had issues of bad behavior cast the first stone....

Justkel said:

He is a great actor and I hope they do not kick him off the show for this. I pray for him and all the people dealing with drug addictions. I pray that all these famous people will stop abusing the privileges they have and use this for positive measures instead of drugs and distructive behavor and addictions. I can not imagine the stress of having no privacy in the world but come on use your tlents and money for good not to slowly kill yourselves!!!!!

bbzkitchen said:

i am a recovering addict. Gary will keep doing what he is doing as long as he can with few if any consequences. He first must admit he has a problem and then humble himself enough to ask for help. For some addicts, jail is a bottom, for others institutions (treatment) is their bottom and then there are some whose bottom is death. I hope and pray that last won't be the case for Gary.

Cody said:

To the first person to comment, there is a big difference between a simple stoner and someone with HEROIN ECSTASY COKE AND PILLS. I really wish this guy good luck and hope he gets better. He's a good actor.

katlin said:
