In July 2021, Tabatha Pope says Merritt rented out a unit to her inside the home on Clay Street.

Merritt allegedly told Pope, she would lower the rent if Pope cleaned the second and third floors.

While cleaning the home, Pope says she found bins filled with blood hidden in a crawl space on the second floor. According to Pope, Merritt told her it was rotten meat from the 2021 freeze that went bad.

Merritt remained in Harris County Jail and her bond is set at $500,000.
