Tyrese Gibson didn’t surrender after arrest warrant was issued for animal cruelty, police say
Tyrese Gibson has not surrendered to authorities after an arrest warrant was issued against him in connection with a deadly dog attack in Georgia. Police said the warrant stems from a mid-September incident in which four Cane Corso dogs owned by the actor mauled and killed a neighbor’s small spaniel. Fulton County Police Captain Nicole Dwyer said the case is part of an “ongoing issue” involving repeated reports of Gibson’s dogs roaming the neighborhood. Officers had previously tried to cite the actor but were unable to reach him at his Atlanta home. Authorities said Gibson was warned multiple times about the dogs before the warrant was issued, and he was told to turn himself in by Friday but failed to do so.
Dwyer emphasized the urgency of the case, citing concerns that repeated attacks posed a growing risk to public safety. Gibson’s lawyer, Gabe Banks, said the actor was not home during the fatal attack and has since rehomed the dogs. He added that Gibson is “cooperating fully with authorities” and expressed condolences to the neighbor whose dog was killed. The incident occurred on September 18 when the neighbor let their spaniel outside, only to find the dog fatally injured minutes later. The four Cane Corsos were later spotted at another nearby home, prompting animal control officers to intervene. Police searched Gibson’s property days later but found neither the actor nor the dogs. Gibson has since shared a video on Instagram featuring clips of his dogs set against audio from a podcast discussing the case, but he has not spoken publicly about the warrant.
