James Mee, the Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who arrested Mel Gibson in Malibu, claims through his lawyer that he's being harassed by supervisors. Mee's arrest report, you might remember, was leaked to the media and proved embarrassing since it contradicted the arrest account promoted by sheriff's officials. Back in October, TMZ reported that Mee's home had been searched and his computer seized as part of the sheriff's office investigation into the leak. Now, Mee's attorney tells the LAT's Andrew Blankstein that the deputy was moved to the Lost Hills station and has been subjected to unfair reprimands.
