“Baywatch” star David Charvet is accused of killing a dog in an alleged hit-and-run.
The dog’s owner, Vera Errico, told TMZ that she was walking her three dogs on leashes in a gated Malibu community around 6 a.m. PT on Thursday, when Charvet allegedly came along in his pickup truck.
Errico claimed the actor hit one of her dogs and then drove away from the gated community.
Errico believes the actor called law enforcement as he drove away instead of following protocol and staying at the scene.
She told TMZ that she rushed her 11-year-old white English Labrador to the vet, where the dog was ultimately euthanized.
Vera and her husband told the outlet they planned to file a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
Page Six has reached out to Charvet’s rep for comment.
The ’90s heartthrob, 53, stepped away from Hollywood and has lived a quiet life for the last few years.
In 2022, Charvet exclusively told Page Six that he made the decision to “reinvent” himself to be the “father [he] wanted to be.”
“That means that you put your kids to bed every night and you wake up (when they wake up),” he said.
Charvet shares two children, daughter Heaven, 19, and son Shaya, 18, with ex-wife Brooke Burke.
“Before I had my first child I was traveling for five years in 42 countries doing concerts for my music,” he explained. “There’s no way I could do that again. I had to find a different meaning to my life.”
He added, “I wanted to stay home and I wanted to be a good dad. I wanted to be there for my children every single day.”
Since stepping away from acting and music, Charvet runs The Jones Builders Group, a residential contracting company, in Los Angeles.
“My job today is I service people. I’m a service person. I’m no longer the star,” he said of the gig. “To wake up every morning early, to be able to be the first face that my kid would see has been a blessing.”
