In Touch Weekly has the report from Todd Hausberger of Phoenix who was at the restaurant and tells the weekly magazine, "Mel had bloodshot eyes," Hausberger tells In Touch.

"He was slurring his words."

In Touch has a photo posted on its web site with a credit of Todd Hausberger that shows Mel with his arm around two women with a bottle in his right hand. The actor appears to be having a good time.

By 2 a.m. Mel decided to hit the road.

"We all offered him rides and he shrugged it off," recalls Kimberly Lesak of Louisville, Ky. Police arrested Mel 36 minutes later for speeding and his blood-alcohol level was 0.12 - well above California's 0.08 legal limit.

Mel Gibson has sought treatment for alcoholism, his rep, Alan Nierob said on Monday.

"He definitely entered a program," said Nierob, who wouldn't identify or describe the program or say how long Gibson planned to be there.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has just released actor Mel Gibson's booking photo (above) from his early Friday morning arrest as well.
