DMPD says woman abandoned pets, one who was found dead, after eviction

Criminal complaints filed in March in the case said apartment management found the animals in a unit at 1800 Watrous Avenue. One of the cats was already dead and the other was in poor body condition. A bearded dragon was also located in a glass tank.
None of the animals had access to food or water and the complaint said the deceased cat likely died of dehydration. An examination of the surviving cat by a veterinarian found 'signs of severe neglect and dehydration.' It scored a 2/9 on the Purina Body Condition System.
Cherry's bond is set at $100,000. A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for May 15th.

Day 3 of trial for alleged mastermind in Young Dolph murder
Hernandez Govan will be live in the courtroom at 9:30 a.m. in the video box above. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hernandez Govan, the man accused of orchestrating the death of rapper Young Dolph, is set to appear in court for day three of his trial Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, Angela Arnold, the girlfriend of Cornelius Smith, was the first witness to take the stand. She told the court that to her knowledge, Smith never had direct contact with Big Jook and that he would communicate with Govan to send and receive messages. She also testified she saw Govan at a carwash hours after Young Dolph's death, when Smith picked up a cellphone from Govan he had left in the white Mercedes used in the murder. Various Memphis Police Investigators were then called to testify in court, along with cell phone records. According to the investigators, they went over calls and text records of Goavn, Smith, and Big Jook in the months leading up to the murder and afterward. They say Smith appeared to have several outgoing calls to Govan. But in cross-examination, Govan's defense attorney explained the reasoning for their communication, saying, Govan supplied Smith with various types of pills, and Johnson talked with him because he was an aspiring rapper. Another investigator who testified said detectives went to the airport to execute a search warrant on Big Jook's phone and asked if they could speak to him, but he refused.
