CSI Star Pleads Guilty to Felony Drug Possession

Gary Dourdan avoided jail Wednesday.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star Gary Dourdan pleaded guilty Wednesday to possession of ecstasy and cocaine at his arraignment in Indio, California.

Dourdan, according to the initial report by People, was dressed in a navy blue suit, light blue shirt and striped tie, and as the actor was leaving the court he "casually flashed the peace sign."

He was charged early on April 28 with three counts of felony drug possession in Palm Springs, California (the heroin count was later dismissed).

"As a result of today's proceedings, Gary has been given diversion (a drug treatment program)," Shawn Chapman Holley (Dourdan's lawyer) said outside the courthouse. "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 initially faced a steep prison sentence of three years and eight months for the three counts of felony drug possession, but now faces no prison time, but must complete a strict drug rehabilitation program.
