Drunk Mel Treated Special

A police report claims that Mel Gibson WAS given special treatment when he was arrested for drink driving in 2006.

According to a just released report from the Office of Independent Review, three employees working in the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department violated policy in connection with the Mad Max star’s boozy anti-Jewish rant and subsequent arrest.

However, this year’s most high profile celebrity bust – Paris Hilton – was done by the book.

The report says there was no celebrity favouritism involved despite an outcry when she was initially granted an early release from jail by the Sheriff's Department - flouting the judge's order that she serve out her full 45-day term.
