MEGA / GC ImagesActor David Charvet is claiming to have new evidence clearing his name after he was accused of fatally striking a dog with his truck in Malibu. The former Baywatch star shared a video that appears to show Vera Errico, the owner of the dog involved in the tragedy, walking other dogs hours after the crash—without a leash. “The video and photographic evidence contradict the false statements that were provided to the police and shared publicly,” a representative for the actor said.
According to TMZ, police have cleared Charvet of criminal responsibility. While Errico claims Charvet drove off after hitting her dog, Charvet said he immediately stopped. Errico attacked the motives behind the new video. “We are grieving the loss of our beloved family pet. We have no comment on Mr. Charvet’s efforts to salvage his reputation,” she said. Since the crash, a representative for Charvet said he has been the target of online harassment and death threats. “He intends to correct the lies communicated on this incident and protect his reputation and safety. David also hopes to create awareness around pet safety and the prevention of animal cruelty,” the rep said. Read it at TMZRead more at The Daily Beast.
