An arrest warrant has been issued for Tyrese Gibson after a dog belonging to his neighbor in Georgia was allegedly killed by his four dogs.
Fulton County Police Animal Services Capt. Nicole Dwyer announced on Monday (Sept. 29) that the Fast & Furious star was wanted on an animal cruelty charge, as reported by WSB-TV.
Dwyer said authorities received a call on Sept. 18 from his neighbor Harrison Parker claiming he let out Henry, a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, in the front yard and found his dog dead five minutes later.
Henry had sustained puncture wounds and severe internal bleeding, according to documents obtained by the ABC-affiliated television station.
Per CBS News, the department said Tyrese's four Cane Corso dogs were seen running loose on five occasions over the course of a week and a half prior to Henry's death. Multiple warnings were also allegedly issued to Gibson.
In a 911 call minutes after the alleged attack, another neighbor complained that the Cane Corso dogs prevented her from getting to her vehicle. She was eventually escorted to her car by animal control officers.
"It is the negligence on his part as the homeowner and animal owner, just letting them roam free," Dwyer said. "And now they have killed an innocent animal."
Tyrese allegedly agreed to surrender his dogs to Animal Services on Sept. 22. When officers showed up to retrieve the animals, Gibson asked for three or four more days. The Fast & Furious actor was threatened with a search warrant if he failed to comply, and he refused.
In addition to a search warrant, police also issued an arrest warrant for animal cruelty.
Gibson and his dogs were reportedly nowhere to be found when the search warrant was executed.
