Tyrese Gibson Turns Himself in to Police, Is Charged with Animal Cruelty After His Dogs Allegedly Killed a Neighbor's Pet By Nicholas Rice

Tyrese Gibson’s legal trouble, tied to an incident involving his dogs, continues.

The actor, 46, turned himself in to police and was arrested on Friday, Oct. 3, after his four mastiff dogs allegedly mauled his neighbor’s pet to death weeks earlier.

Gibson was booked at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia and was charged with one count of cruelty to animals, according to online records.

He was previously given a deadline to turn himself in to authorities, who issued an arrest warrant, but he had failed to do so.

The Fast & Furious star was released not long after his arrest on a $20,000 bond.

After an arrest warrant was issued on Sept. 22, Fulton County Police Captain Nicole Dwyer told PEOPLE that Gibson was “getting his affairs in order,” adding, “But he has known he has a warrant for over a week and has failed to turn himself in as requested.”

In a previous statement to PEOPLE, Gibson’s attorney, Gabe Banks, said the actor was working with authorities. “Concerning the misdemeanor warrant, Mr. Gibson is cooperating fully with authorities to address and resolve this matter responsibly,” he said, adding that Gibson “extends his deepest condolences to the family who lost their beloved dog to this tragic incident that occurred while Mr. Gibson was away from his home.”

After the tragedy, Gibson’s attorney said the actor had since rehomed his beloved mastiffs. The family that lost their beloved pet, however, continues to mourn their loss.

Harrison Parker said he let 5-year-old dog Henry out in his yard, which had an invisible fence, but when he returned minutes later, he told WSB-TV 2, “I found my dog dead in my driveway.”

Henry suffered internal bleeding and puncture wounds, court documents allege, according to the local outlet.

“Not hearing him around, it’s just awful,” Parker told WSB-TV 2 of the aftermath of the incident.

“He was one of the sweetest dogs, and to have him get murdered, it’s indescribable,” the pet owner added.
