Mel Gibson Arresting Officer Reaches Tentative Settlement In Lawsuit
The deputy who arrested Mel Gibson in 2006 for drunk driving has tentatively settled his lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for $50,000, attorneys said. James Mee had sued the county, claiming that in the years after the incident, he was passed over for promotions and had his job performance unfairly scrutinized. Because the deputy is Jewish, his attorneys said he was unfairly suspected of leaking details of Gibson’s tirade to the media. The agreement still needs to be approved by the county Board of Supervisors before it becomes final. Terms were not disclosed.
