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."
Mel is basically his own private movie studio. When he himself IS the handler, then what?
I agree.
Ugh.
This is really ugly isn't it? Damn I hope this isn't true.
Mel is a conservative when it comes to religion, very conservative(Pre Vatican 2)Catholic and he is VERY LIBERAL when it comes to Politics. HE HATES G.W.
This story is most likely true and it just PROVES his hatred for the Jews like his father. Oh by the way, his father DENIES the holocaust EVER happened. Sounds like that crazy midget in IRAN!!
"The Jews caused all the wars"?????
Like Vietnam, Korea, CIVIL WAR, WW1????
Gibson is an IDIOT!
So do I, honestly.
Same here. Lots of forces at work. None of them good.
Aptly put...Oh damn!

Criminy it is like gargling with a mouthwash and drinking a beer not like swilling a bottle of Jack Daniels

With all due respect, Why is it that we have a hard time believing that "celebs" can DO NO WRONG??
You can still be a fan of his. He's not Jesus, and he's not William Wallace. He's a guy who makes movies. Everything in its context.
I'd always thought he was too.
Look at what's happened since the old "studio system" went pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft in the early 1960s.
Don't forget some in Hollywood probably still despise Gibson for making The Passion and have their contacts in various PDs. Remember all the hubbub about Rush's "arrest" at the airport? How much turned out to be embellished?
I don't know if it is actually true or not but, given the source, I'm willing to wait for something corroberative.
The stuff reported here doesn't sound like a drunken man to me. More like somebody coming down from something stronger.
It depends what he was drinking and his tolerance for alcohol, not his size has a lot to do with it. But it could make him mean and combative. Some people it only takes one drink.. along with an EGO! ( do you know who I am?) and there can be problems.
There are alot of IF's here.
TMZ the "SOURCE" of your accusations is what is being questioned.
POINT 12 is not a belligerent drunk

A couple of us were speculating about that very thing.
