Gibson's vehicle was speeding east on the Pacific Coast Highway when officers stopped him at 2:36 a.m., sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Gibson, 50, was booked at the Lost Hills sheriff's station at 4:06 a.m., according to department records. The actor-director was cited and released, Whitmore said. Bail was set at $5,000.
