A new report found that three employees at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department violated policy in actor-director Gibson's misdemeanor drunk driving arrest, media reports said Friday.

Sheriff's personnel neglected to take Gibson's palm print upon his release, follow proper procedures before driving him to a tow yard to retrieve his car and sign a certain department form, the report said.
The report also discussed the controversy as whether Department officials attempted to censor the original arrest report in order to deflect attention from alleged inflammatory statements that he made.
The employees -- two sergeants and a jailer -- have since been disciplined for the minor procedural violations, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said. One received a one-day suspension; the other two received a written reprimand.
Gibson was arrested in August 2006 on Malibu's Pacific Coast Highway for speeding and he made anti-Semitic comments to the arresting deputy. Gibson was given three years' probation, ordered to pay 1,400 dollars in fines and attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Gibson's remarks, detailed in a report leaked to celebrity Web site TMZ.com, provoked outrage and he later apologized.
