‘Fast & Furious’ Star Wanted for Animal Cruelty Charges

The five-year-old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel was allegedly mauled to death by the actor’s Cane Corsos.

Fast & Furious star Tyrese Gibson is wanted on animal cruelty charges after his Cane Corsos allegedly killed a neighbor’s dog. Cops in Fulton County, Georgia, confirmed Monday they’d issued a warrant for the arrest of the 46-year-old. The incident on Sept. 18 saw Harrison Parker let Henry, a five-year-old King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, out on the front lawn. He was dead five minutes later, the FCPD’s Capt. Nicole Dwyer said according to CBS. After initially saying he would give up the dogs Gibson changed his mind, asking for more time. Officers then obtained both a search warrant and an arrest warrant on a charge of animal cruelty. When they were executed, he and the dogs were gone. Gibson, however, says he is in L.A. and cooperating with authorities. In a statement via his attorneys, he said he “extends his deepest condolences to the family who lost their beloved dog,” claiming he hadn’t been there at the time. “Concerning the misdemeanor warrant, Mr. Gibson is cooperating fully with authorities to address and resolve this matter responsibly,” it added. Gibson posted a video on Instagram of himself playing with the dogs on Tuesday. He also claims to have contacted the family directly. Asked if he was indeed cooperating, Dwyer said, “Well, he knows he has a warrant out for him, and he’s not turning himself in, so no.”
