On the lam: Former CSI star Gary Dourdan blew off a court appearance this week, and the judge has now issued a bench warrant for his arrest

At the time, the judge charged Gary with felony battery and issued a three-year restraining order to keep him away from Cannizzaro.

Dourdan - who filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2012 - was also arrested in 2011 for Oxycontin possession after crashing his vehicle into two parked cars.

And in 2008, the Alien: Resurrection actor plead guilty to possession of cocaine and ecstasy in Palm Springs.

Dourdan's last tweet was partying that same night alongside rapper Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion) with the caption: 'Free lions.'

I'm sad to see Gary Dourdan's downward spiral. I had hoped he would get help with his substance abuse problems but it seems like it's one miscalculation after another. He has a handful of projects in pre-production so I hope he will be able to keep his head above water. I did like him in CSI and Aliens Resurrection.

He really needs to get his life together. It would be a shame to waste such an amazing talent.

just another example of why people do not respect the hollyweird courts. They go soft on celebrities until the celebrity fails to understand they did anything wrong.
