Hernandez Govan Arrested on Stalking Charges Less Than a Year After Young Dolph Case Acquittal

Hernandez Govan is back in the headlines following a new arrest, less than a year after being acquitted in the high-profile case tied to the death of Young Dolph.

Govan previously faced charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the 2021 killing of Young Dolph. Prosecutors alleged he played a coordinating role in the ambush at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in Memphis, though a jury ultimately found him not guilty, citing insufficient evidence. Other individuals connected to the case, including Justin Johnson and Cornelius Smith, were convicted and sentenced in relation to the incident.

Now, according to Memphis police reports, Govan has been arrested again—this time on stalking and harassment-related charges. The new allegations mark a separate legal matter from his previous trial, which had drawn national attention due to its connection to Young Dolph’s death.

Details surrounding the latest arrest remain limited, and authorities have not yet released extensive information about the circumstances leading to the charges. The case is ongoing as investigators continue to process the new allegations.
