- PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — "CSI" co-star Gary Dourdan has been charged with felony possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy stemming from his arrest last month, prosecutors said.

The 41-year-old actor was arrested after police found him asleep in his car in Palm Springs on April 28. He was allegedly parked on the wrong side of the street with the car's interior light on.

Prosecutors said Dourdan is scheduled to appear in court in Indio, about 130 miles east of Los Angeles, on May 28. The criminal complaint was dated Tuesday.

A call to Dourdan's attorneys wasn't immediately returned early Thursday.

Dourdan has played crime scene investigator Warrick Brown on CBS' "CSI" since 2000.

Several celebrities were in Palm Springs for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in nearby Indio.

ITS TOO SAD THAT GOOD ACTOR TURN TO THE LIFE OF DRUG USE. WHEN YOU HAVE THE PERFECT CAREER. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND GET ON THE STRAIGHT N NARROW BEFORE YOU LOSE IT ALL.

Aw, man. With so many in Hollywood who have pretty faces but no talent, why would someone blessed with both risk it with drugs? Says the woman with little pressure from strangers to be perfect.
