This isn't exactly a release date Mel Gibson is looking forward to.

Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore tells E! News that detectives are two weeks away from completing their investigation into allegations the Lethal Weapon star assaulted ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, and their 9-month-old baby, Lucia.

"We're looking at turning it over to the district attorney in the next two weeks," Whitmore said. "We have to finish up the investigation and tie up a few loose ends."

Let the countdown begin.

Despite reports that investigators have finished interviewing witnesses however, Whitmore added that the process is still ongoing.

"We're going to receive some documentation and we're going to interview anybody that we need to," the spokesman noted. "Then we're going to give the packet to the D.A."

Police are reportedly considering charging Gibson with domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment. They are also looking into extortion allegations his camp has leveled against the 40-year-old Russian musician.

Meanwhile, lawyers for the 54-year-old actor and Grigorieva continue to meet in Family Court and duke it out over child support, custody and visitation rights.
