Los Angeles, CA - Sheriff Deputy Who Arrested Mel Gibson Claims Harassment
Los Angeles, CA - The sheriff’s deputy who arrested Mel Gibson for drunken driving six months ago says his superiors have harassed him ever since a report detailing the star’s anti-Semitic tirade was leaked to the media.
Deputy James Mee was transferred to another assignment and interrogated by sheriff’s officials about the arrest for several hours, his attorney said. Following his transfer, investigators seized a computer and phone records during a search of his home.
“I disagree with the assessment that personnel in the department or at the station have been relating to him or supervising him in an unfair manner,” said Neal Tyler, a division chief. Tyler denied Mee was being singled out and said he didn’t know of any problems with Mee’s treatment. He declined to discuss Mee’s specific complaints because of confidentiality rules.
