Singer-turned-actor Tyrese Gibson turned himself in to police in | |
Atlanta on Friday morning, days after about an alleged incident in | |
which his neighbors say his dogs attacked and killed another dog. | |
Gibson, who faces a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty, was booked | |
just before 6 a.m. local time at Fulton County Jail in Georgia, | |
according to Fulton County Police Capt. Nicole Dwyer. Gibson posted a | |
$20,000 bond and has been released, Dwyer added. | |
An arrest warrant for Gibson, known for his role in the “Fast & | |
Furious” franchise, was issued last week. It stemmed from an alleged | |
incident in which Gibson’s neighbors claim his dogs attacked and | |
killed a 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Henry in the | |
upscale Atlanta community of Buckhead, where the star lives. | |
In a statement released , Gibson’s attorney Gabe Banks said Gibson | |
“was out of town when the incident occurred, but he accepts full | |
responsibility for his dogs.” | |
The statement claimed the dogs involved in the incident had since been | |
rehomed. | |
Dwyer said on Friday that Gibson’s attorney “has been made aware” | |
that the four dogs involved in the attack need to be turned over to | |
authorities. | |
“We still do not have the dogs,” Dwyer said. | |
Gibson’s attorney told CNN in a statement on Friday that “despite | |
what others might say, throughout this entire process Mr. Gibson has | |
cooperated fully with legal authorities and will continue to do so | |
until this matter is resolved.” | |
“Mr. Gibson once again wants to extend his deepest condolences to the | |
family who lost their dog and respectfully asks for privacy and | |
understanding as this matter is handled through the appropriate legal | |
channels,” Banks said. | |
