On April 29th, Gary Dourdan, who played the character Non-Threatening Black Man on "CSI", was arrested in Palm Springs for possession of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs. He was arrested at 5:21am, when sheriffs deputies found him passed out in his car on the wrong side of the road. Today was his court date. Now, try to guess if he will do any jail time. Keep in mind, he’s an actor, and this is California. I don’t want to give any hints, because it will ruin the surprise. People magazine says…
He was charged with three counts of felony drug possession following his April 28 early-morning arrest in Palm Springs, Calif. The heroin count was dismissed.
"As a result of today's proceedings, Gary has been given diversion (a drug treatment program)," his lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley said outside the Lawson Justice Center. "He very much regrets what happened and he's very embarrassed by what occurred, but he's looking forward to moving on and getting back to work."
Dourdan had faced up to three years and eight months based on the charges filed against him. Instead, he faces no prison time, but must complete the 16-class drug program.
That’s right. Cocaine, heroin and ecstasy = not one day in jail. I dare a normal person to try this. Not only would they sentence you to a hundred years on Monster Island, they would get a model to seduce your wife, they would sell your kids to gypsies and turn your dog gay.
Ass rape is the new black.
Great. I once did 8 months on a year for stealing booze from a restaurant.
mongro - looks like he needs change to ride your train… HA!
Dodging ass rape is the new black.
it's funny cuz it's true. Take Nick Hogan for example, any normal citizen would have gotten 2 years in the pokey, easy. Dude gets 8 months, and he's separated from the general population of the jail he's in, and he's still crying.
It must be nice.
You know, you make it sound like possessing and doing highly illegal and deadly narcotics is bad or something. This is Cali, dude, we thrive on dangerous and stupid activities. Where else will you find riots, freeway shootings and $25 martinis? Jeez….
The place was closed, it was 10 cases and I had an extensive record but still, IM WHITE.
but really, the fact that it costs $5K/mo for a tiny one-bedroom apt in Cali means that you are paying for this fair and just legal system.
i wonder if parker brothers makes a different version of Monopoly for celebs… one that has a "Go To Jail Whenever You Want To, That Is, If You Want To" card
Dogtownsurfer, you can find all of those things in my dreams every night. WALK HARD! HARD!
they didn't charge him for heroin because it wasn't really heroin. it was baking powder with bits of brown sugar in it tainted with fentanyl. true story.
He should be shot by Stacy and Clinton for that outfit alone. (Trucker chain wallets are So sexy…rrraaawwwrrrr)
I heard from a reliable source that the only reason the cops even arrested him was because he was black.
No no, the only reason we wont elect him president is because hes black. Dumb ass
“Not only would they sentence you to a hundred years on Monster Island, they would get a model to seduce your wife, they would sell your kids to gypsies and turn your dog gay.”
At least one of those things is not really punishment.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh! burn bitch!!1 oooooooohhhh!!! that just happened!!!!! aaaaaaaawwww shit!!!
Mooseknuckle…what I said had no basis in reality, and I would like to take this time to offer you a reach around as an olive branch.
aw come on. the article says he feels really bad about the whole thing.
Bros before Hoes, He has a better shot than Hillary
Dude, true story….my brothers dog is a big homo. Like if you have have a dog and it has a dog penis (like Shea), then my brothers dog will suck on it! I know this makes leftnut, head of my presidential war council, excited, but fact is fact
How was he by himself with heroin, cocaine and x? If I had all of that at once my car would be stuffed like a clown car with peeps. Maybe he doesn't do good when mixing. Turns into a reall ass.
