Tyrese Gibson Surrenders in Atlanta Dog Mauling Case, Released on $20,000 Bail

The case is under review by Fulton County prosecutors.

Overview

  • Authorities say an arrest warrant was issued and Gibson was booked in Fulton County before posting bond in connection with a misdemeanor animal-cruelty charge.
  • Reports state that on September 18 four Cane Corsos from Gibson’s property allegedly escaped and fatally attacked a neighbor’s Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Henry.
  • Veterinary records cited in coverage describe severe injuries to Henry, including broken ribs and multiple puncture wounds.
  • Neighbors had lodged earlier complaints about the dogs roaming unsupervised, and animal control had taken steps including a search order prior to the incident.
  • Gibson’s attorney says he was not home, has cooperated, and rehomed the dogs, while animal services say they have not taken possession of the animals.
