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

Police say the dogs remain unaccounted for, prompting an ongoing investigation.

Overview

  • Jail records show he surrendered just before 6 a.m. Friday and was booked on a misdemeanor cruelty-to-animals charge before posting bond.
  • Authorities cite doorbell and security video showing multiple Cane Corsos in a neighbor’s yard minutes before the Sept. 18 killing of a 5-year-old spaniel named Henry.
  • Fulton County police documented repeated reports of Gibson’s dogs roaming and issued warnings, including a Sept. 7 notice, in the days before the attack.
  • A search warrant executed after the incident found neither Gibson nor the dogs at his residence, and officers say the animals have not been recovered.
  • Gibson’s attorney says he was out of town during the attack, accepts responsibility, and has rehomed some dogs, while police and veterinary records detail severe injuries to Henry.
