TMZ has learned Tyrese Gibson has been cited for leaving the scene of an accident -- a felony ... but he has a pretty good defense. 
Rewind to January 4 in Miami. Tyrese was involved in a car crash with Sheena McCleary. The cops came and took info from both drivers. Both Tyrese and Sheena were cited for the accident. Sheena -- who claims she was injured -- drove away in a cab with Tyrese.
Now fast forward to January 25. For some reason, Miami police issued traffic citations to both Tyrese and Sheena for "Leaving the scene on public or private property - injury" - a felony.
So how could Tyrese have committed such a felony when there are photos of him talking to cops at the accident scene? That's what his lawyers, Jayne Weintraub and Jon Sale, want to know. They filed papers Thursday with court clerks and entered a not guilty plea on Tyrese's behalf.
Miami prosecutors must now decide whether to pursue the case against Tyrese and Sheena. Weintraub and Sale think it must just be a clerical snafu.
Ironically, paparazzi handiwork may be Tyrese's smoking gun.
Sheena's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, tells TMZ he doesn't believe there's probable cause to go forward with the case.

I am glad that Tyrese and the other party of the accident were okay. I hope the lesson was learned, and no more mistakes like this won't ever happen no more! And no more spa time right after an accident. That's crazzzzzzy!
Tyrese! What I just said is from the heart. You are one of the finest actors, and I really like you from your singing to your acting. Just be very carefull! :)
Law enforcement at its best.... Give that guy a ticket... OH CRAP, they have photographs.. oh well, just tell the media there was a clerical error, no big deal.
I'm smelln some bacon frying.
Whaat a strange deal here at the lighthouse where I saw the accident. Truly odd, I know, but well.... I can't really recall.
That isn't a cop in the photo, its a rent-a-cop aka. mall security.
TMZ you need to check your sources better. You can clearly see by the security patch on the guys arm.
CHECK YOUR FACTS!
Oh yeah ? And the police car behind ? Is it a rent-a-police car ?
If you have to ask "who is Tyrese" then you've either never saw Transformers 1 & 2, or spent too much time tugging one off to Megan Fox during the movie.
The fake "who is this guy" post every time they post a story featuring a B-list black actor is as tired as it is old. I'm sure you have no problems remembering Joe Tutorro or Josh Duhamel, even though Tyrese's role was every bit as big. Get a life.

Oh, excuse us. We'll change the post in this case:
"Who it this TURD???"

Someone richer, more famous, and more relevant than you'll ever be in your pathetic meaningless little life. The life where posting on the TMZ board is the most fame you'll ever achieve.
Always glad to assist ;o)
He is standing next to a security gurard in the picture, his car is on private property.
Is Tyrese wearing those Skechers butt shaping shoes?!? How embarrassing...
If you look real close, TMZ, you'll see that person is a security guard, and that's his little security car. Far cry from real police.
