Why Was Pooh Shiesty In Prison?
Shiesty, real name Lontrell Williams Jr., was imprisoned in a Pennsylvania facility until Monday (October 6). In 2022, a judge sentenced him to serve five years and three months in prison for a federal firearms charge. He had pleaded guilty to conspiring to possess guns to further crimes of violence and drug trafficking, per ABC24. A release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Florida revealed that he had agreed to the conspiracy concerning three separate shooting incidents between July 2020 and May 2021. At first, he faced up to 20 years in prison. Ultimately, he got sentenced to 63 months with one year of time served. Rather than serving his entire sentence, Pooh walked months before the scheduled release date on April 11, 2026. His early release, per Complex, could be related to good behavior.
Rapper’s Lawyer Speaks Out As Release Footage Trends
As videos of Pooh Shiesty started trending, the rapper’s lawyer spoke to XXL about his release. Bradford Cohen told the outlet he’s “elated” about the early release. Additionally, the attorney said he believes Pooh Shiesty will thrive and rise following this time behind bars.
“The government fought hard to give him 10, but after listening to the case, the Judge agreed with us that it was not appropriate and gave him a sentence that resulted in him serving 3 years. I know he will come back bigger than ever and definitely learned from this experience. He is excited to start the next chapter of his story. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I think that this is just the beginning of his second act,” Cohen said.
