Hernandez Govan Arrested on Stalking and Harassment Charges

The arrest raises fresh criminal exposure for a defendant previously acquitted in the Young Dolph trial.

Overview

  • Govan was taken into custody on Friday after an arrest warrant issued following a domestic complaint, and no bond had been set at the time of reporting.
  • Memphis police say the alleged conduct included repeated harassment, threats to shoot the victim’s residence, and threats to post explicit content of her online.
  • He faces state stalking and harassment counts that carry maximum penalties of up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine per count.
  • Govan was acquitted of first-degree murder and conspiracy in August 2025 in the Young Dolph case while the two gunmen in that killing were later convicted or pleaded guilty and sentenced.
  • The case will move next through arraignment and formal charging, and it could prompt renewed public scrutiny in Memphis and raise questions about victim safety and prosecutorial options.
