Tyrese Gibson – the actor known for starring in Fast & Furious, Transformers and other notable films – currently finds himself embroiled in a legal situation. Police in Atlanta, Georgia have issued a warrant for Gibson’s arrest in connection to the death of one of his neighbor’s dogs. The authorities have since spoken out about the situation, saying that Gibson has yet to turn himself in. At the same time, the actor’s lawyer has also shared comments on how he’s reportedly navigating the situation.
What Have The Police Said About Tyrese Gibson’s Arrest Warrant?
On September 18, one of Tyrese Gibson’s neighbors – who reportedly lives half a mile from him – released their dog into their own yard, according to the Associated Press. The neighbor apparently returned moments later to find that their small spaniel had been brutally mauled, with Gibson’s four cane corsos reportedly being responsible for the attack. Per reports, the quartet of hounds was later seen at the home of another neighbor, who remained in their house until animal control came to contain the situation.
Wednesday, though, Gibson himself took to Instagram to share his own sentiments including video clips of his dogs. Gibson said that over the last 15 days, he’d been in Los Angeles, where he was mourning the death of his father. In terms of the dogs, Gibson defended his former pets while also extending his well wishes to his neighbors who’d been impacted by what happened:
Tyrese Gibson – who has been candid about having public outbursts and ranting – has dealt with legal issues in recent years, but those situations were far different from this latest one. For a few years, Gibson dealt with child support-related issues with his former wife, Samantha Lee and, in 2024, he was arrested for refusing to pay Lee over $73,000 in support. The actor eventually paid the debt and was held in custody until he did. As of this writing, it remains to be seen if or when Gibson will turn himself in.
