Mel Gibson's Arresting Deputy Claims Harassment

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― The Los Angeles County 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.

The attorney for Deputy James Mee told the Los Angeles Times that Mee was transferred to another assignment and interrogated by sheriff's officials about the arrest for several hours. Following his transfer, investigators seized a computer and phone records during a search of his home.

Sheriff's officials reject accusations that Mee was being singled out or treated unfairly.
