In a scene reminiscent of Hunter S. Thompson’s famous “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas” and his bag full of mixed drugs, CSI star Gary Dourdan was arrested for a remarkable slew of substances after being found “slumped unconscious” in his car upon leaving the Coachella Music festival.
Police found substances believed to be crack cocaine, heroin and ecstasy in the vehicle and various prescription-only drugs, said by police to be “a virtual pharmacy’s worth of prescription and illegal drugs” as well as “items relating to drugs.”
The 41-year-old was held after being found “asleep” or “unconscious” according to police was found in a parked car in Palm Springs, California.
The Palm Springs PD said the actor was busted at approximately 5:12 a.m. when officers approached his vehicle and found him “asleep” or “unconscious” in the vehicle’s drivers seat, “parked on the wrong side of the road with the interior lights still on” according to the police report.
The actor - whose character, Warrick Brown, has battled an addiction to pills on the crime drama was taken into custody at the scene and booked at the Palm Springs jail for possession of narcotics and possession of dangerous drugs. He was held for several hours and ultimately released at 10:30 a.m. on $5,000 bail.
The arresting officer described Dourdan (identified on his California driver’s license as Robert Gary Durdin) as “disoriented” and appearing to be under the influence of either drugs or alcohol.
Earlier this month, CBS and Dourdan confirmed he would not be renewing his contract or returning as the pill-popping Warrick Brown on the smash crime procedural after the show’s May 15 finale.
Perhaps he was looking for the escaped giant floating Pink Floyd Pig that was accidentally released or did he merely stop to “top off” and then pass out?
