Arrest Warrant Issued for Tyrese Gibson on Animal Cruelty Charge in Atlanta Dog Mauling

Authorities attribute the misdemeanor warrant to repeated roaming complaints backed by video evidence.

Overview

  • Fulton County police say four Cane Corsos owned by Gibson allegedly killed neighbor Harrison Parker’s 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Henry, on Sept. 18 in Buckhead.
  • Security footage showed the dogs roaming and scratching at a neighbor’s door minutes before the attack, and officers had logged multiple loose-dog complaints and issued warnings in the days prior.
  • Gibson initially agreed on Sept. 22 to surrender the dogs, then asked for more time; police obtained search and arrest warrants that evening and found neither Gibson nor the animals at the property.
  • Veterinary findings and police reports describe puncture wounds, broken ribs, and severe internal bleeding consistent with a fatal mauling.
  • Gibson’s lawyer says he has rehomed the dogs, is cooperating with authorities, and disputes claims that he is evading law enforcement.
