After turning himself into authorities, the Oscar winning director/actor was then released -- a process that took approximately an hour -- a police source tells Breaking Celebrity News.

His booking report lists his age as 55, height as 5-feet-10, weight 190 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

The Passion director arrived at the station to take care of the court-ordered business on Wednesday night at 9:30 pm PT. As Gibson turned himself in, his film The Beaver was premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.
