Thanks to the vigilant gossip-mongers at TMZ, we learned that Mel Gibson was arrested early this morning by the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department in Malibu, CA. TMZ managed to get in contact with a spokesman for the department, who had this to say:

“Mel Gibson was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. He was released later this morning. The investigation was still ongoing, just like it would be with any other person.”
