LA policeman says he got hell after arresting Mel

Following his transfer, investigators seized a computer and phone records during a search of his home.

8220;His life and career would be a lot different had he not made that arrest,8221; his attorney, Richard Shinee, said in a Times story on its website.

Mee arrested Gibson July 29 in Malibu for driving under the influence of alcohol.

An arrest report signed by Mee and posted on the celebrity news website TMZ said Gibson was belligerent. The Hollywood superstar and director of blockbuster movies such as Braveheart and The Passion of the Christ was quoted as saying: 8220;The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.8221;

The Oscar-winning actor-director had later apologised to the Jewish community and pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of drunken driving.

Sheriff8217;s officials, however, rejected these accusations.

8220;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,8221; refuted Neal Tyler, a division chief who oversees the sheriff8217;s station where Gibson was booked.

Tyler denied Mee was being singled out and said he did not know of any problems with Mee8217;s treatment. He declined to discuss Mee8217;s specific complaints because of confidentiality rules.

After Gibson8217;s much-publicised arrest, investigations were opened into whether Gibson received preferential treatment, and into who had actually leaked Mee8217;s report to the website.

8220;My client has denied that he gave the report to anyone,8221; Shinee said.
