Mel Gibson completes DUI deal
Mel Gibson is free to get on his life as completing the terms of his plea agreement following a much-publicized drunk-driving arrest in 2006.
The actor hit the headlines when he used anti-Semitic language in a boozy tirade on a police officer during a DUI arrest in California.
Superior Court Judge Lawrence Mira told that the star had completed the requirements of his no-contest plea and was not required to make further progress reports to the court.
"You're on your own now with the self-help groups, so this is the most difficult time for you," Mira told a subdued Gibson during a brief hearing in Los Angeles. "Good luck to you as you continue your rehabilitation."
Gibson has apologized for making the derogatory comments about Jews to the sheriff's deputy who arrested him.
Gibson's direction of Braveheart made him the sixth actor-turned-filmmaker to receive an Oscar for Best Director. In 2004, he directed and produced The Passion of the Christ, a blockbuster movie that portrayed the last hours of the life of Jesus.
Gibson is an honorary Officer of the Order of Australia and was ranked the world's most powerful celebrity in the annual list by Forbes magazine in 2004.
