Arrest Warrant Issued for Tyrese Gibson After Neighbor’s Dog Killed in Buckhead

Police are seeking his surrender on a cruelty-to-animals charge.

Overview

  • Authorities say Henry, a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was found minutes after being let out and suffered broken ribs, puncture wounds, and severe internal bleeding.
  • Police and neighbors had reported Gibson’s Cane Corsos roaming the Tuxedo Court area multiple times in the days before the attack, and officers issued prior warnings.
  • When animal services sought to take custody of the dogs on Sept. 22, Gibson asked for more time, leading investigators to secure both a search warrant and an arrest warrant that evening.
  • Officers executing the search found neither Gibson nor the dogs at the property; security video showed the Corsos scratching at a neighbor’s door, and animal control escorted another resident to her car that night.
  • The police report cites a YouTube video in which Gibson touts the dogs’ aggression, and officials say he was given a month to turn himself in as he posted he is taking a mental-health break until November.
