Judge Rubs Out Mad Mel's DUI Conviction

"Sugar tits," we hardly knew ya.

A California judge today expunged Mel Gibson's drunk-driving conviction from his record after the Oscar winner successfully completed all the terms of his three-year probation. Gibson, who was not in court for the ruling, had pleaded no contest to the charges.

The ruling came at the behest of the Passion of the Christ mastermind's attorney, Blair Berk, who filed a motion Sept. 21 to dismiss the misdemeanor DUI case.

As part of his penance, the 53-year-old Gibson attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, made a number of public service announcements and paid $1,300 in fines over the infamous July 2006 incident, in which he called his arresting officer "sugar tits" and railed against Jews.
