Arrest Warrant Issued For Famous Actor

An arrest warrant has been issued for “Fast and Furious” and “Transformers” actor Tyrese Gibson after his dogs allegedly killed another dog in his Atlanta neighborhood.

According to the Associated Press, Fulton County Police Captain Nicole Dwyer said the warrant for cruelty to animals is part of an “ongoing issue” after multiple calls about the dogs.

Court documents allege Gibson’s four Cane Corso dogs were seen running throughout the neighborhood and killed a neighbor’s cavalier King Charles spaniel, NBC News noted.

The neighbor’s dog was named “Henry.”

Tyrese Gibson has found himself at the center of an animal cruelty investigation after a neighbor claimed that dogs belonging to the Fast & Furious star attacked and killed his own pet earlier this month.

NBC News has more:

Henry’s owner told police he had let Henry out to use the bathroom at 10:02 p.m. and that when he came back five minutes later he found the dog dead in his driveway near the front door.

Henry had blood on the left side of his rib cage, separated and broken ribs on the right side and light puncture marks on his stomach, as well as severe internal bleeding, the report said.

Security camera video from a neighbor’s home showed four cane corsos running toward Henry’s home, according to the report.

Also that evening, at 11:30 p.m., animal control got a call from another neighbor who reported four cane corsos were at her door and that she could not get to her vehicle in the driveway. An animal control officer arrived at 12:17 a.m., saw all four dogs in the front yard and escorted the caller to her car, according to the incident report.

“Our priority is the safety of the community and when there’s so many incidents of dogs, especially large dogs like this, getting out and then killing an animal, you know, what’s next? A child?” Dwyer said, according to the Associated Press.

“Our main priority is safety and that’s why we want the dogs in custody,” Dwyer added.

The Associated Press shared further info:

Gibson had received multiple warnings before the warrant was issued, and police had attempted to cite him before the attack, but the actor wasn’t at his Atlanta home. Dwyer said she spoke with Gibson’s lawyer last week and informed them the actor had to turn himself in by Friday.

Gibson’s attorney, Gabe Banks, wrote to in an email to The Associated Press the actor is “cooperating fully with authorities to address and resolve this matter responsibly.” Gibson wasn’t home when the incident took place, Banks wrote, and “immediately made the difficult decision to rehome his dogs to a safe and loving environment.”

Just after 10 p.m. on Sept. 18, a neighbor of Gibson’s, whose house is half a mile away, let their dog, a small spaniel, out to their yard and returned five minutes later to find the dog had been attacked. The dog was rushed to a veterinary hospital, but did not survive, Dwyer said.

The four dogs were then seen at the next-door house, where the owner called police, saying she was afraid to leave her house. Animal control officers responded and were able to keep the dogs back while the neighbor went to her vehicle.

Police issued a search warrant for Gibson’s property on Sept. 22, but the actor and the dogs were not at the residence.
