Gilbert was arrested for disturbing the peace early on April 11 when he appeared at the Beverly Hill Police Station after a party at his home, demanding that someone be arrested. Who exactly, he wouldn’t say. When police explained they could not make an arrest without a name, Gilbert became so boisterous that he was jailed until morning.
