Gibson, 50, is alleged to have tried to escape when he was pulled over on the Pacific Coast highway near his Malibu home in the early hours of Friday morning and then launched into a barrage of anti-semitic curses against the arresting sheriffs.
Police have confirmed the actor and director, who rose to fame by playing characters such as Mad Max and a mentally unstable policeman in the Lethal Weapon series, was found to have a blood- alcohol level of 0.12%, above the 0.08% Californian limit. He was charged with drink-driving and released on $5,000 (£2,600) bail.

Here's the actual documentation from the arrest, you can find the antisemitic rant on page 2.
Another Website was able to get a "confirmation" on the record.
"Lt. Steve Smith, in charge of the detective bureau for the Malibu/Lost Hills station of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, confirmed to me just now that "the contents seem to be similar" between the official reports and the four pages posted by TMZ.com on the Internet alleging Mel Gibson "blurted out a barrage of anti-Semitic remarks" -- "****** Jews" and "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" and asking the arresting deputy "Are you a Jew?" -- during his DUI arrest early Friday morning," reports Nikki Finke for Deadline Hollywood Daily.
Lt. Smith denied that there was any "cover-up."
"There's no whitewash," Smith told Deadline Hollywood Daily. "I've seen the first report, and the supplemental report, and it looks to be the same thing as what's on the Internet."

And people said it was purely their imagination when Jewish groups noted antisemitic elements in The Passion of the Christ.
