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.

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

On Thursday, it was awarded a secondary prize by the Art Gallery of New South Wales in its annual national portrait competition. Sydney artist Del Kathryn Barton won first prize with her self-portrait.
"Heath" by Vincent Fantauzzo was the popular choice among the 32,000 who saw the exhibition.
Ledger died of an accidental prescription drug overdose in January. He was 28.
