Gibson apologises to arresting officers

Disgraced Hollywood star Mel Gibson has finally said sorry to the three police officers he insulted when arrested for drink-driving two months ago.

The 'Passion of the Christ' actor sent a female officer a $500 bouquet with a note expressing "sincere apologies" and has invited her and her male colleague, James Mee, to the premiere of his new movie Apocalypto.

Gibson launched a blistering volley of abuse against the woman when escorted to his cell, calling her "sugartits", and subjected Mee, who is Jewish, to an anti-Semitic tirade when pulled over in his vehicle.

A colleague of the unnamed female officer says: "Mel has sent her the biggest bunch of flowers she's ever seen with a note. She was quite touched and I'm sure that the two arresting officers will take him up on his invitation."
