A federal judge denied rapper Pooh Shiesty’s bail, keeping him in jail as he awaits trial on kidnapping, armed robbery, and conspiracy charges tied to a January recording-studio incident in Dallas; the judge cited his violent-crime history and a home confinement violation, with no trial date set and a potential life sentence if convicted.
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.
Pooh Shiesty was released early from federal prison after serving about 3 years of a 63-month sentence, celebrated by friends and Gucci Mane, who welcomed him back on social media, marking a new chapter in his life after legal troubles related to firearms and violence.
