Mel Gibson’s 2006 DUI arrest is water under the bridge – and a Los Angeles judge expunged the headline-grabbing arrest from the actor’s record this morning..

On Tuesday, Judge Lawrence J. Mira removed the conviction after Mel’s attorney filed a Motion to Dismiss on September 21 to his no contest plea to driving under the influence, stemming from his arrest on July 28, 2006. Mel raised eyebrows with a vicious anti-Semitic rant. Under California’s penal code 1203.4, a defendant who has fulfilled the conditions of their probation may petition the court “dismiss the accusations or information against the defendant.”

Gibson originally pleaded no contest to a driving under the influence charge as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to three years of probation, fined more than $1,300 and was ordered to attend more than 11 months of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. He also had to enroll in an alcohol abuse program for three months.
