“It is the negligence on his part as the homeowner and animal owner, just letting them roam free,” Dwyer said. “And now they have killed an innocent animal.”
Police said the “Fast and Furious” franchise star has received multiple warnings for his four Cane Corso dogs getting out.
Dwyer said they received a call Sept. 18 from a neighbor who let his dog out one night and found it dead minutes later, apparently from an animal attack.
Police executed a search warrant Sept. 22, but Gibson and the dogs were not at the home.
