The Mugshot, the Apology, and the Juicy Coverup

Is it just me or is he almost smiling in this picture? Even though he looks clean-cut, he also looks like a serial killer plotting how he will kill you with a toothpick. But hey, that's just me. [source]

Shortly after, Gibson checked himself into a rehab center.

"After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the LA County Sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said. Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health.”

But Disney isn't too happy. They are thinking of pulling the plug on the distribution of Gibson' s new movie, Apocalypto.

But it doesn't end there folks....
There are reports of a cover up by the L.A. County Sheriff's office, which they deny. An extensive article on the situation can be read here.
