Tyrese Gibson Booked For Animal Cruelty Charge For Dog Attack

Actor and singer Tyrese Gibson was booked into the Fulton County Jail on Friday on a misdemeanor animal cruelty charge.He has since been released on a $20,000 bond.

Gibson’s neighbor, Harrison Parker, told WSB-TV that he has seen the Fast & Furious star’s Cane Corsos roam freely on several occasions. It was on one of those occasions, on the night of Sept. 18, that Parker’s 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Henry, was killed.

“I found my dog dead in my driveway,” Parker said. “Not hearing him around, it’s just awful. He was one of the sweetest dogs and to have him get murdered is, it’s indescribable.”

Shortly after, Gibson and his lawyer issued a statement accepting responsibility for the attack, despite being out of town during the time.

In the statement, Gibson wrote that he was “shocked, devastated, and heartbroken” for the family who lost their dog.

“As an empath, my heart hurts deeply for their unimaginable loss, and I’ve been trying to reach out directly to express my sorrow and condolences,” he wrote.

Gibson also confirmed that the dogs involved in the attack has since been rehomed.
