Friend of London Thomas, who in the event that they have not been dealing with the examination of their death

The friend of London Thomas, who is considered a person of interest in Thomas's death, was charged in a non -related case.

The 23 -year -old Jalen Pendergrass is accused of submitting a wrong police report in Novi, a crime that is punished with up to four years in prison. His indictment took place on Sunday before the Oakland district court.

Jalen Pendergrass and his mother Charla Pendergrass were the two suspects that were held after which Thomas's 17 -year -old body was found. Both were released from custody on Friday.

A few hours after their release, Charla Pendergrass Was taken back into custody and accused of lying police officers during an investigation. Court files show that she has been connected since then.

Defender Terry Johnson, who represents Jalen and Charla Pendergrass, believes that his clients are treated unfairly.

“The bonds were extensively high and they received GPS -Teters, because this is what the state police demand in Michigan,” said Johnson. “You are the main inspection agency here and unfortunately have nothing, and you try to collect information to report to calculate my customers.”

Johnson says that there should be a larger examination of the house in which Thomas' body was found near the intersection of the Millard Street and the Sherman Avenue in Southfield, since none of his customers have a connection to this residence.

“Someone explains to me how a body can sit for two weeks, not on the street, but in an entrance from someone. Whose car is that? Who is it? Why don't we speak to these people? And why are they not arrested?” he said.

Charla Pendergrass will be expected on May 7th for a likely conference for a probable cause.

The Detroit police said Thomas was reported to be missing on April 8th April 12th And 17.
