MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Mel Gibson has been following the rules of his probation for his DUI arrest last summer, his lawyer told a judge Thursday. They say he's been on his best behavior, the actor was not required to attend the hearing.
Gibson has been required to check in with the court periodically since his July 28, 2006, misdemeanor drunken driving arrest on Pacific Coast Highway.
The Academy Award-winning director of 1995's "Braveheart" pleaded no contest to the charge on Aug. 17, 2006, and was given three years' probation, ordered to pay $1,400 in fines and attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. His attendance at AA meetings is now voluntary.
Gibson, who's starred in the "Lethal Weapons" movies and directed "The Passion of The Christ" and "Apocalypto," has apologized for making anti-Semitic comments at the time of his arrest.And it seems to have died down as far as we can tell.
His next court appearance was set for Feb. 15.
