Overview
- Charvet allegedly struck a neighbor’s 11-year-old Labrador with his pickup in a gated Malibu community early Thursday, and the dog was later euthanized.
- The owner, Vera Errico, says all three dogs were on leashes and that Charvet drove out of the community before calling police.
- Charvet’s representative says the dogs were off leash, one moved under the truck, and he stopped, called 911, and waited for authorities.
- The Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station says it is handling the incident as a traffic collision rather than a hit-and-run after receiving calls and taking a report.
- Deputies are gathering statements and documenting the event under California rules that require drivers to report crashes causing injury or damage.
