Nine-year-old rescued after nearly two years confined in a van in eastern France

Rapper Pooh Shiesty Remanded in Dallas Kidnapping Case Involving Gucci Mane

Rapper Pooh Shiesty (Lontrell Williams Jr.) was denied bail in a Dallas federal case tied to kidnapping and robbery at a recording studio involving Gucci Mane. Prosecutors say he traveled from Memphis with eight others, used an AK-style pistol to force Gucci Mane (Radric Davis) to sign paperwork terminating his contract, and robbed several people of jewelry and cash. Williams allegedly violated home detention by being at the scene; nine defendants face conspiracy-to-kidnap charges with a potential life sentence. Williams’s lawyer questioned the evidence, citing no contract or video of a signing, while the judge found credible evidence and a flight risk, ordering detention until further proceedings.
