Gary Dourdan (filmography), star of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, was found by Palm Springs police sleeping in a car parked on the wrong side of Sunny Dunes near Gene Autry Trail (i.e., close to Lowe's) at 5:20 AM on Monday. Actually, the linked Desert Sun article says it was on Sunday morning, but every other news source on Earth says it was Monday morning, so we can be pretty sure it was Monday, and I hereby announce yet another charitable fund for the benefit of the Desert Sun. This is the "Buy The Desert Sun A Calendar Or A Watch Or Reading Specs Or Whatever They Need To Know The Day Of The Week." (My other funds are to buy them a compass and a spellchecker).

But back to Mr. Dourdan (or "Durdin," as his driver's license says).

"The officer described Durdin as disoriented and possibly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs," [Palm Springs police Sergeant] Spike said. "(He) subsequently located suspected cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, miscellaneous prescription drugs and paraphernalia (in the car)."

The Desert Sun says it is not known if Mr. Dourdan was here to enjoy the Coachella music festival. As long as they're naming things they don't know, we could just as easily say we don't know if he was here for the White Party and was so intoxicated he couldn't find his way out of town for two weeks.

The Smoking Gun provides a scan of his complete mugshot profile from the Palm Springs P.D. showing the photo was taken at 9:51 AM, Monday, April 28.

Earlier this month it was reported that Gary Dourdan would be leaving CSI after this season.
