It seems like the deputy who arrested actor Mel Gibson might have leaked information to the media. According to TMZ the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has obtained a search warrant and raided the home of Deputy James Mee. The deputies went inside and took Mee's computer, phone records and other documents.
Sources say the warrant was issued because officials believed Deputy Mee leaked four pages of the original arrest report to the media. The Sheriff's Department claims it's an offense for a law enforcement officer to leak confidential documents.
Meanwhile, the Sheriff's Department claims it is still investigating charges that Department officials gave Gibson special treatment and lied to the media the day of the arrest.
In other Gibson news, everyone is talking about Mel Gibson’s interview with Diane Sawyer. Mel revealed that he drank alcohol the morning after his July 28 arrest for driving under the influence.
"I just went home and saw my kids were there. You know, I talked to them for a little bit. And it was a little rough that morning. I chased it down with a few cold ones”. Gibson also revealed he slicked his hair back before having his mug shot taken, thinking of Nick Nolte's famously disheveled look in the photo taken after his own DUI arrest in Malibu. "I did my best with a finger combing in the water fountain, to sort of like splash a little water on my face, to not take one of those hideous mug shots, because I knew it would be around," he says. "Vanity won out."
