Actor Tyrese Gibson, known for his role in the “Fast and Furious” series, turned himself in to the authorities on Friday following an incident where his dogs allegedly killed another dog in his neighborhood in Atlanta.

An arrest warrant for Gibson, who is also a recognized R&B performer, had been issued on September 22. Jail records indicate that he was booked on animal cruelty charges and subsequently released.

Court documents revealed that Gibson’s four cane corso dogs were seen roaming the neighborhood on September 18, leading to the death of a neighbor’s 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel.

The spaniel’s owner explained that he had let his pet, named Henry, out for a bathroom break just after 10 p.m. and returned five minutes later to discover the dog injured in the driveway near the entrance, according to court filings.

A police report detailed that Henry suffered from broken and separated ribs on his right side, sustained blood on the left side of his rib cage, had light puncture wounds on his stomach, and experienced severe internal bleeding. Security footage captured Gibson’s four cane corsos heading towards Henry’s home, as noted in the report.

On the night of the incident, a woman contacted animal control to report that four cane corsos were blocking her doorway, preventing her from reaching her vehicle, as noted in an incident report. An animal control officer arrived at the scene, observed the dogs in the yard, and helped the woman safely get to her car.

One of Gibson’s friends later picked up the cane corsos, according to the report.

On Sept. 22, Fulton County police and animal control went to Gibson’s residence to have him surrender the four dogs, but he said over the phone that he would not surrender them and asked for a few days to figure out what to do, the report said.

The report also stated that Gibson “admitted that he believes his dogs killed Henry and that he knows it’s been an ongoing issue over the past few months with his dogs getting out.” A search warrant was executed at Gibson’s home the following day, but he and the dogs were not home, the report said.

Gabe Banks, Gibson’s attorney, said in a statement on the singer’s Instagram account that he was out of town when the attack occurred and “he accepts full responsibility for his dogs.” Gibson rehomed two of the dogs and put their three puppies “in safe and loving homes,” the attorney said.

“After nearly 40 years of being a passionate dog lover … my dogs have only ever been treated as family. They’ve never been trained to harm, never spent a single day in attack or protection training, and they’ve grown up playing with kids and smaller dogs in my home,” Gibson said in another statement on his Instagram page. “That’s why this incident has left me shocked, devastated, and heartbroken for the family affected.”

A Fulton County police captain said in the report that some of Gibson’s dogs were seen running through the neighborhood more than five times over the past few months and that Gibson had received a warning on Sept. 7. He also received a notice of a special permit he needed for having more than 10 dogs, according to the report. It’s not clear how many dogs Gibson has.

On its website, the American Kennel Club says of the breed: “Smart, trainable, and of noble bearing, the assertive and confident Cane Corso is a peerless protector.” As with other big guardian dogs, the AKC adds, “responsible breeding and early socialization with people and other dogs is vital.”
