Actor Tyrese Gibson Arrested on Animal Cruelty Charge in Georgia

Actor and singer Tyrese Gibson was arrested and charged with animal cruelty in Atlanta after one of his four Cane Corso dogs killed a neighbor's Cavalier King Charles Spaniel in mid-September. Surveillance footage reportedly showed Gibson's dog scratching at a door just before the attack, and the neighbor’s dog sustained severe injuries leading to its death. Gibson was initially reluctant to surrender the dogs but eventually turned himself in and was released on a $20,000 bond. His attorney stated that Gibson was out of town during the incident, has cooperated fully with authorities, and has rehomed the dogs involved. Police confirmed that Gibson's dogs had previously roamed the neighborhood unsupervised multiple times, and he had received warnings about the dogs. Gibson and his legal team have expressed condolences to the neighbor who lost their dog and stated their intention to resolve the matter legally.
