CSI's Gary Dourdan Pleads Guilty to Drugs Charges
Gary Dourdan lucked out. The dude was caught by police in April, sleeping (aka past out) in his car on the wrong side of a random street, reportedly surrounded by drugs, and he's not going to jail -- not even for 82 minutes.
The CSI star pleaded guilty yesterday to counts of cocaine and Ecstasy possession. The heroin(!) charge was dropped.
"As a result of today's proceedings, Gary has been given diversion (a drug treatment program)," his lawyer said, outside the court. "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."
Gary could have gotten three years and eight months int he slammer based on the charges filed against him. Instead, he'll serve nada and will only have to complete a 16-class drug program. Obviously, Gary is thrilled.
"He is very grateful to the court for being understanding and giving him an opportunity to resolve the issue and move forward," his lawyer said.
That's one good lawyer.
