Govan was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. He was released a $90,000 bond and placed under house arrest after telling the judge he needed to work to support his family…but he then spoke to the media and was chastized by the judge.
“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,” the judge told him,” adding that the court did not like the fact that he was doing interviews when he should still be in jail.
