“I FELT LIKE A RAT!”’ BAD TRAVEL KARMA FOR X-DHARMA STAR

NationalEnquirer.com

A MISSED flight led to the alleged DUI bust of straight-laced “Crimi­nal Minds” star THOMAS GIBSON.

The 50-year-old family man decided to drown his sorrows after he was late getting to the airport for a flight from Los Angeles to his home in San Antonio, Texas, say sources.

“Ironically, Thomas was supposed to be home with his family over that weekend,” said a close source. “But he missed his flight for work reasons. Thomas doesn’t like being without his family and may have had a little more to drink than he should have because he was lonely without them.”

The former “Dharma & Greg” hunk’s high-flying escapade crash-landed at 1:05 a.m. on Jan. 6 after he plowed through a barricade set up to keep cars off the course during a nighttime half-marathon.

The actor was initially stopped for trying to drive through the closed area, but Los Angeles police of­ficers smelled alcohol on his breath and arrested him on suspicion of driving under the influence after he refused to take a Breathalyzer test, ac­cording to reports.

The cops hauled him in and he was released on $15,000 bail.

Gibson has been married for 19 years to San Antonio native Christine, and they’re parents to sons James, 13, Travis, 10, and 8-year-old daughter Agatha.

After the embarrassing episode, “Thomas admitted he’d grown frustrated with all the closed streets and road­blocks through downtown,” according to the source.

“He said, ‘I felt like a rat in a maze who was just trying to get out!’”

The handsome actor vowed never to do it again, noting: “I learned my lesson the hard way.”
