Shamed CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star Gary Dourdan is planning a series of events to "get the word out that you don't need a bunch of nasty chemicals to have a good time" in the wake of his drug possession arrest last week.

The actor was apprehended by police in Palm Springs, California after he was found asleep in his incorrectly parked car after attending the Coachella Festival. Dourdan hopes to announce his plans by the time he is arraigned on May 28.

The actor has already apologized publicly to fans and now he's apologizing to country star Taylor Swift after his legal woes in the desert forced him to pull out of a planned awards show to honor the singer.

Dourdan was set to present Swift with an award at Hollywood Life magazine's 10th Annual Young Hollywood Awards last week.

He says, "I am so sorry to all my fans, especially the young ones, like Taylor Swift, who I should've been supporting... instead of driving tired in the desert."
