Hernandez Govan is facing new legal troubles as his stalking and harassment charges in Memphis have turned into a Federal cyberstalking case. This revelation comes just days after his arrest and subsequent release on bail.
According to Fox 13, Govan was originally arrested for making threats over the phone. A woman alleged that Govan threatened to have her home shot up. The two were allegedly in a dispute over money, and that is when Govan allegedly started making these claims.
Furthermore, it was alleged that Govan wanted to "post explicit videos of her on social media." When the woman sought help from authorities, the man continued with his alleged threats, writing, "The National Guard can't save you, they can't be there forever." These alleged threats led to a warrant, and last week, he was officially arrested.
Govan will be back in court on Tuesday, where he will learn the next steps for his case.
Hernandez Govan Back In Court
Just last year, Govan was acquitted of the murder of Memphis rapper Young Dolph. Prosecutors claimed that Govan was the mastermind behind the hit. However, the jury was not compelled by the arguments presented, and the man was subsequently acquitted. In the immediate aftermath of his legal victory, Govan said he would leave the city. Based on this latest arrest, it is clear he never made good on his promise.
Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith were, in fact, convicted of the murder of Young Dolph. Johnson received life in prison for first-degree murder, while Smith received 20 years for second-degree murder.
