Gary Dourdan spoke to People magazine about his arrest last week after being found in possession of suspected cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and prescription pills, reports the Associated Press.
"Obviously I am embarrassed to find myself in this situation, and I am profoundly grateful to everyone for their support," the "CSI" star said in a statement to the magazine. "I have complete confidence in and respect for the justice system and will cooperate fully with any investigation."
The actor posted $5,000 bail and was released following his arrest early Monday in Palm Springs, Calif.
Meanwhile, his camp responded over the weekend to the publication of a personal text Dourdan sent to Access Hollywood host Shaun Robinson, who posted it on the show's Web site. A spokesman for Dourdan tells People:
"This was a personal text to a friend taken completely out of context." The exchange was not intended for air or publication.
In the e-mail to Robinson, Dourdan, 41, explained the circumstances that led police to discover him asleep in his car, which was parked on the wrong side of the road.
"Obviously I certainly wish I hadn't been responsible for so many people getting to the festival's VIP area," Dourdan wrote, referring to the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. "And the after party, it ran me ragged, but I'm glad pulling over did prevent a DUI."
He also goes on to say, "I am blessed that the Sgt. realized that the luggage carrying whatever they found was not mine and that my tests have been coming back negative."
Dourdan, who has not been formally charged, returned to work on "CSI" shortly after his arrest. His arraignment is set for May 28.
