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."
Gay bashing? So, if one thinks homosexuality is wrong and unnatural, one is gay bashing?
Oh, are you one of "those" people who believe we all have to believe as you do? No one can think differently?
"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?"
Anybody believes that, stand on your head."
Oh boy, you are right! How can a MOVIE STAR say such a thing? It is impossible!
Please remember that celebs are of the homomsapian species and not of 'superhuman' species.
I hate the little white box with the red x.
I'm sorry but I don't get your point.
Mel Gibson was fed this hateful garbage by his Anti-Semitic dad, who is a real dirtbag.
All Mel has to do is apologize, seek counseling, and blame it on his upbringing.
Would love to hear his confession on Oprah!
I can't really read the officer's statement that well but I am going with the sober LAPD officer over the drunken Gibson. And I am thoroughly disgusted by Gibson and will never pay a cent to see anything he does. What a foul creature.
I am on the side of the LAPD officer because even without the anti-Semitic comments which wound me deeply and personally, Mel's rude use of the F-word in the cop's writeup matches the language and attitude of Mel once he reached the station and was videotaped. Those of you who don't see it this way are foolish, just as much as those who thought the entire LAPD had conspired against OJ Simpson.
I do have a few friends in the LAPD and they are some of the most honorable men I know. They lay their lives on the line daily for us.
1.2 in a breathalyzer? I have been in the presence of many people who had the same amount of alcohol in their blood and yet did not resort to foul language. Being drunk is no excuse. Mel was speeding on a dangerous road, and the officer had every right to pull him over. The officer was doing his job.
My mother travels that part of PCH and I am sorry, I don't care how famous the drunk drivers are there, I want them off the road because I don't want my mother killed by them. The officer in no way deserved, by ANY stretch of the imagination, that kind of language even WITHOUT the anti-Semitic bile.
I am absolutely disgusted with Mel Gibson and I hope he is finished in Hollywood.
Yo,
Regarding the "passion" movie, Mel went out of his way to depict the Jewish people as grotesque and evil. Remember the scene where Jesus is being brought before the pharisees? The Jews in the scene were of a grotesque nature. Where Mel has the followers of Jesus sporting appealing faces. There are plenty of other examples.
Mel is just another human being who is FULL of himself. "I own Malibu".
Well Mel thought he could get away anything he wants. Time for him to open up his SELFISH eyes!!
99.9% of celebs are so self-absorbed.
Try again.
Now don't take this the wrong way (which is to say that I am defending ANYTHING about the DUI [apparent] Jew-hater) but Jesus' followers back then were also Jews. I am just trying to be fair...
you try again,
I said the FOLLOWERS OF JESUS!!
ok? So MEl's point is that if you FOLLOW JESUS your are BEAUTIFUL and if you don't you are UGLY!
Get it??
I'll wait to see if a tape is produced in the public.
I do have a few friends in the LAPD
I'm not from around there.Are they the same as LA County Sheriff?
1.2 in a breathalyzer?
Uh no. .12.
I am absolutely disgusted with Mel Gibson and I hope he is finished in Hollywood.
How is your rant different than his supposed rant?
Do you know anything about the story of Jesus?
Has any of this been confirmed by any established media? I can read chit like this in the enquirer, doesn't make it true. I'm not jumping in the foray until I have solid facts. And nor should anyone else.
Why the heck does he have a beard???? If you have a face like his, dear Lord, do NOT cover it up with hair!!!
What does the story of Jesus have to do with FALSE portrayel of characters in a STUPID MOVIE.
No. Just reprints of the AOL entertainment article. Well, there are confirmed independant reports he was cited for drunk driving. THAT's established.
