Mel Gibson Spits Anti-Semite Comments While Arrested for DUI

The actor director, famous for his parts in 'Mad Max' and 'What Women Want', but especially for his controversial film 'The Passion of the Christ', was pulled over on Friday for driving under the influence.

Police documents show that Gibson was speeding on Pacific Coast Highway, going at 87 miles per hour in a 45-miles-per-hour zone. He was given two sobriety tests and for each of them his blood-alcohol level tested to be well over the legal limit.

The actor became very agitated immediately after his car was stopped and, according to TMZ, he went on a rampage and began swearing the two deputies. He refused to get into the patrol car and constantly repeated that his life is f***ed, probably hoping to be left to walk away with just a speeding ticket.

When things got even more heated, Gibson threatened Deputy Mee: 'You motherf***er. I'm going to f*** you'. The deputy's original report says: 'Gibson almost continually threatened me saying he "owns Malibu" and will spend all of his money to "get even with me"'. After that the actor engaged in an anti-Semite tirade, aimed especially at the Mee, whom he suspected of being of Jewish origins: 'F***ing Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. Are you a Jew?'.

Gibson was finally taken downtown and placed in a detox cell, where his erratic behavior continued to get worse. After a few hours he was released on a bail of $50,000. But the most disturbing fact is not that he was caught DUI, but that the sergeant on duty considered the original report filed by Deputy Mee was 'way too inflammatory' to go on record.

So, he ordered him to write another one, in which all the incendiary comments were to be left out. Apparently, he feared that, once leaked to the press, they were to aggravate the already fiery situation in Israel. Gibson's publicist and lawyers refused to admit to the existence of the initial report.

A police investigation is currently under way to see if charges will be pressed against the actor and the Sheriff's spokesperson told TMZ that both reports are to go public, once presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney: 'Nothing will be sanitized. Nothing will be left out'.
