“Baywatch” star David Charvet has been accused of killing a dog in an alleged car accident.
The dog’s owner, Vera Errico, told TMZ she was walking her three dogs on leashes in a gated Malibu community around 6 a.m. PT on Thursday, when Charvet’s pickup truck approached.
Errico claimed the actor hit one of her pets and then drove away from the gated community.
She rushed her 11-year-old white English Labrador to the vet, where the pooch was ultimately euthanized.
While Errico and her husband went to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office to file a police report for a hit-and run, police are not classifying it as such since Charvet called authorities from his vehicle.
Errico and her husband, notably, believed the incident to be a hit-and-run since the actor drove away instead of staying at the scene.
Officials sent deputies to the scene to take a “traffic collision” report where more details are being gathered, such as whether the dog was leashed at the time of the accident, as Errico claimed.
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.”
