Tyrese was arrested on Friday after turning himself in following his four dogs’ alleged attack on his neighbor’s dog, which resulted in its death.
Police say they received a call on September 18 from a neighbor who reported that Tyrese’s dogs were loose and had attacked their 5-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named Henry.
“Concerning the misdemeanor warrant, Mr. Gibson is cooperating fully with authorities to address and resolve this matter responsibly,” Gabe Banks, Tyrese’s attorney, told PEOPLE, adding that he “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.”
Video from a Ring doorbell camera reportedly captured the moments leading up to the attack. The footage appears to show the dogs scratching at the neighbor’s door before the mauling occurred.
Cane Corsos, the breed reportedly involved in the attack, were originally bred as guard and war dogs. Today, they’re known for their strength and protective instincts, traits that have also contributed to their reputation as one of the more aggressive large breeds.
