Tyrese Gibson Booked on Animal-Cruelty Charge as Police Seek Dogs in Fatal Mauling

Investigators say the Cane Corsos have not been surrendered despite his lawyer’s claim they were rehomed.

Overview

  • The 46-year-old actor turned himself in on Oct. 3 at the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office and was released on a $20,000 bond, according to officials.
  • The misdemeanor case stems from a Sept. 18 incident in Buckhead in which neighbors say four Cane Corsos killed a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Henry.
  • Fulton County Police state the four dogs have not been turned over and remain out of custody.
  • Gibson’s attorney says he has cooperated with authorities, accepts responsibility for his dogs, and had them rehomed.
  • Body-worn camera footage from a Sept. 22 search shows officers inside Gibson’s Atlanta home and his grandmother seated in the back of a patrol car.
