TMZ has learned that Mel Gibson went on a rampage when he was arrested Friday on suspicion of drunk driving, hurling religious epithets. TMZ has also learned that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's department had the initial report doctored to keep the real story under wraps.
TMZ has four pages of the original report prepared by the arresting officer in the case, L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy James Mee. According to the report, Gibson became agitated after he was stopped on Pacific Coast Highway and told he was to be detained for drunk driving Friday morning in Malibu. The actor began swearing uncontrollably. Gibson repeatedly said, "My life is f****d." Law enforcement sources say the deputy, worried that Gibson might become violent, told the actor that he was supposed to cuff him but would not, as long as Gibson cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the deputy asked Gibson to get inside. Deputy Mee then walked over to the passenger door and opened it. The report says Gibson then said, "I'm not going to get in your car," and bolted to his car. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him inside the patrol car.
Once inside the car, a source directly connected with the case says Gibson began banging himself against the seat. The report says Gibson told the deputy, "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."
The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"
The deputy became alarmed as Gibson's tirade escalated, and called ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station. When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed the camera and then said, "What the f*** do you think you're doing?"
A law enforcement source says Gibson then noticed another female sergeant and yelled, "What do you think you're looking at, sugar tits?"
We're told Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which were videotaped, and continued saying how "f****d" he was and how he was going to "f***" Deputy Mee.
Gibson was put in a cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and after a few minutes tried manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Sources say Deputy Mee thought Gibson was going to urinate on the floor of the booking cell and asked someone to take Gibson to the bathroom.
After leaving the bathroom, Gibson then demanded to make a phone call. He was taken to a pay phone and, when he didn't get a dial tone, we're told Gibson threw the receiver against the phone. Deputy Mee then warned Gibson that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony vandalism. We're told Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the necessary paperwork and was thrown in a detox cell.
Deputy Mee then wrote an eight-page report detailing Gibson's rampage and comments. Sources say the sergeant on duty felt it was too "inflammatory." A lieutenant and captain then got involved and calls were made to Sheriff's headquarters. Sources say Mee was told Gibson's comments would incite a lot of "Jewish hatred," that the situation in Israel was "way too inflammatory." It was mentioned several times that Gibson, who wrote, directed, and produced 2004's "The Passion of the Christ," had incited "anti-Jewish sentiment" and "For a drunk driving arrest, is this really worth all that?"
We're told Deputy Mee was then ordered to write another report, leaving out the incendiary comments and conduct. Sources say Deputy Mee was told the sanitized report would eventually end up in the media and that he could write a supplemental report that contained the redacted information -- a report that would be locked in the watch commander's safe.
Initially, a Sheriff's official told TMZ the arrest occurred "without incident." On Friday night, Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told TMZ: "The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigation into the arrest of Mr. Gibson on suspicion of driving under the influence will be complete and will contain every factual piece of evidence. Nothing will be sanitized. There was absolutely no favoritism shown to this suspect or any other. When this file is presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney, it will contain everything. Nothing will be left out."
Gibson's rep Alan Nierob tells TMZ: "We are unaware of any of the information you mentioned in your email pertaining to a police report."
Sounds suspiciously like the report of David Hasselhoff's arrest; without the pants stain.
According to some on here, he didn't drink enough to be that drunk. I think they said he registured 0.12
He did back in the 80's after getting beaten to a pulp on a drunken spree, hopefully, this will be a wakeup call to get help and stay clean.
Not one that has been called a conservative. Hell I read today that Bruce Willis is now on the "911 was an inside job" bandwagon. This really sucks.
I was excited about his new movie, too. I've been a fan of his since I was 12. This sucks.
hooooooooooooooooo boy.
Gibson Inspired by 'Fear-Mongering' Bush

Mel Gibson
HOLLYWOOD - Film star and director Mel Gibson has launched a scathing attack on President George W. Bush, comparing his leadership to the barbaric rulers of the Mayan civilization in his new film Apocalypto. The epic, due for release later this year, captures the decline of the Maya kingdom and the slaughter of thousands of inhabitants as human sacrifices in a bid to save the nation from collapsing.
Gibson reveals he used present-day American politics as an inspiration, claiming the government callously plays on the nation's insecurities to maintain power.
He tells British film magazine Hotdog, "The fear-mongering we depict in the film reminds me of President Bush and his guys."
I'd almost wonder, alcohol plus what else, if that's all he drank.
Ah, no. Get a grip. All the Washington Times piece does is report that this TMZ website is saying something. That is NOT a collaborarion!
What's even more funny about the TMZ article is that he was about to piss in his pants. I hope they got that on tape. That would make for a great segment on TV BLOOPERS or new artwork by Andres Serano called PISS GIBSON.
okay, so i'm cornfused. is he a liberal?
Reminds me of the arrogant "Q" from Trek. Perish the thought..
corroboration.
when will thesmokinggun.com have the police report?
It doesn't take much to turn someone into a mean drunk. He shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel of the car.
I like Mel Gibson but this was stupid for a grown man to do, who should have had more sense.
I think just maybe he has a drinking problem. If so, I hope he seeks help.
It does make one wonder, doesn't it. Maybe his ego has gotten the best of him.
If the slimes and UPI are running with it, then they put themselves at legal risk, not to mention they run the risk of getting CBS'd over a fake memo. You can bet your posterior that they covered theirs six ways to Sunday. They have seen the real report or gotten the arresting officer to confirm it off the record. No way they ran with it if they weren't pretty sure.
(..and pigs fly..)
... Except for one thing: Mel Gibson has a grain silo full of golden Spanish doubloons. Easily over 100 million bucks, and that's just my guess. It's probably lots more.
Kinda hard to hurt a famed director with that kind of loot. If he makes money, they will deal with him.
The "private church" sounds like a bridge too far, but I'm not a Catholic and I don't know what rules they have about this. I think Rome is comfortable about it. As for the jillions of dollars, jets, etc. the standard evangelical answer is that consist in your attutde towards the stuff. Jesus says you're supposed to use the "mammon of unrighteousness" to "make friends" so that they may "receive you into your heavenly dwelling."
