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."
I can honestly say I don't give one wit about Mel Gibson and his problems. He sounds like a spoiled super rich brat used to getting his way.
And you sound equally ready to believe it's not true. Glass half full, glass half empty sorta thing. He's only an actor, he didn't split the atom or anything.
>> Once again life imitates South Park.
> So! You boys have led me here to your secret base, huh? I guess now you're gonna start torturing me!
Isn't it scary how accurate they are? Dead on with the Hollywood crowd: Baldwins, Michael Moore, etc. and now Mel.
Too bad about Mel. I had a real admiration for him for a long time (esp. with my hormones). But he's become streetcorner homeless guy style crazy, and his money/fame lets him get away with it. Until now I guess.
As I have often said, alcohol & bigotry do not mix.
Yeah. They did. From the article: Mel Gibson went on a rampage when he was arrested Friday

Aren't "rampages" violent?
And the passion of the christ was anti-semetic! Just the way he depicted the Jewish faces in certain scenes, making them to be devils and grotesque.
Give it a rest. When the Jews called for Jesus death, do you think they were smiling? They wanted a fighter, Barabas, not Jesus.Telling the truth is NOT anti-semitic.
It does sound completely made up.
Well, here is one who fell for it.
Could you make out that scrawl? I tried. lol
Oh, so words now mean you're done as a Human. Okay, yeah sure.
You think it's made up?
It's published by a site of AOL/Time Warner.
Pretty deep pockets there.
If this is untrue it is published with loads of "Actual Malice".
If Gibson sues AOL for defamation and ends up owning a large portion of the company, then you will have legitimate reason to believe that it was made up.
Up to that point- it's believable.
What if it is true. What if this is a glimpse into the real Gibson? What if the person who produced a passion play is a raging anti Semite?
The other side of the coin is raging Anti-Christians, their orginizarions and undermining the United States of America. There are some sick forces at work, whom want to destroy this nation. Gibson based this work on biblical scripture, and the Romans used their pawns the jewish people to call for the death of The Christ.
A couple of them said he had a .12 blood alcohol level. Over the limit, you bet, no excuses. But the absurd illustration in the above article makes him sound like he had a lot more.
I think this is a pant load, and another hit piece on Gibson's alleged 'antisemitism."
Sounds like the National Enquirer.
1.2 level is like 3 glasses of wine. No way did he lose his mind.
Well, they may have been at some of the same parties... and took notes :~)
Gone to his head!
What in the world are you talking about? What a stretch, using the alleged boorish behavior of an ultra-rich man of privilege to find the truth? I hope you bring the same compassion to the truly hopeless in this society, those mired in generations of failure who know not even a sniff of opportunity, let alone what to do with success.
Conspiracy Theory.
EAA Airventure was a blast.
Worked the flightline for several hours, directing arrivals and departures.
They want me back next year, so I guess they were happy.
A fan of Gibson's from Day One, I saw him on one of the late night talk shows a good while back and he was off the walls with his disjointed responses and behavior. It was a little disturbing and disappointing but did not think less of him - just figured that he would probably rather be somewhere else. I'm hoping we can take this report with a whole shaker of salt.
