Young Dolph Murder Suspect Arrested. One of Memphis rapper Young Dolph’s accused murders was arrested again on unrelated charges. After being charged with plotting Young Dolph’s murder, Hernandez Govan, 44, now faces stalking, harassment, and driving infractions.
Hernandez Govan, who was arrested for stalking and harassing someone, was accused of hiring Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith to murder Young Dolph. He was also accused with driving while suspended and incorrectly mounting his licence tag. He was arrested in Shelby County, Tennessee, and released on a $2,250 bond on June 24.
Judge Mitchell stated, “Let me make myself extremely clear to you that you are to not have any interviews with anybody for any reason.”
Govan faces the repercussions of his conduct, thus this warning is serious.On June 26, Govan will face driving offences, and on August 20, stalking and harassing charges. He was arrested despite continuing legal processes over Young Dolph’s death.
Govan was arrested in February for shooting Young Dolph and charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy. He was placed under house arrest to work and support his family after being given a $90,000 bond. However, Govan’s house arrest behaviour is concerning.
Govan was chastised by Shelby County Judge J. Jennifer Mitchell for interviewing under house arrest. “At this point, the court feels like you’re playing, and playing fast and loose with the court and these stipulations, and I don’t like that,” Mitchell said.
Judge Mitchell stressed that Govan should not be interviewed. She told him: “Your attorney has requested that I review your bond conditions. Before we could accomplish that, a concerned citizen informed me that you were interviewing. Interviews happen whether or not you discuss this case. The court dislikes that you feel free to give interviews because you could be in jail, where supervision is easier.
Govan’s attorney claimed that Govan did not discuss the case in the 28-minute YouTube interview. According to the District Attorney, “It wasn’t the smartest thing to talk from house arrest, you know, in a YouTube video, but it wasn’t anything about the case and in fact, he would say no comment any time someone asked him about the case.”
Young Dolph, a beloved Memphis rapper, was murdered, affecting the community. Adolph Thornton Jr., known as Young Dolph, was shot and killed in Memphis in November 2021. His death horrified fans and artists, triggering cries for justice and a stop to hip-hop violence.
Young Dolph’s murder trial continues. Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, the alleged shooters, await trial. Many followers and supporters are following the case.His arrest complicates Govan’s already high-profile court battles. Govan’s behaviour and legal compliance are questioned by the stalking and harassment charges.
Govan’s charges will hinge on the next three months. The courts will investigate his suspected role in Young Dolph’s murder and the additional charges. Hip-hop aficionados and Young Dolph’s supporters will follow the rapper’s justice case.
Young Dolph’s death shows how violence can end lives and careers. Justice may be served as the legal process progresses, giving victims of this horrible act some closure.
