Tyrese Gibson Turns Himself In on Animal-Cruelty Charge and Is Released on $20,000 Bond

Authorities say they still lack custody of the Cane Corsos central to the investigation.

Overview

  • The actor surrendered to the Fulton County Jail just before 6 a.m. Friday, was booked on a misdemeanor count, and was released on a $20,000 bond.
  • Doorbell video released by officials shows multiple Cane Corsos in a neighbor’s yard minutes before the Sept. 18 attack in Buckhead.
  • Police and court records say the victim dog, Henry, suffered broken and separated ribs, puncture wounds, and severe internal bleeding.
  • Fulton County police report the dogs were repeatedly seen roaming in recent weeks and that Gibson received a warning on Sept. 7.
  • After initially resisting a surrender, a search warrant was executed at Gibson’s home; officials now seek formal custody despite his attorney’s claim that some dogs were rehomed.
