Pooh Shiesty's father granted $250K bond under strict house arrest amid federal kidnapping & armed robbery charges involving Gucci Mane.
- April 4, 2026
AceShowbiz - Pooh Shiesty’s father has been granted a $250,000 bond but is required to remain under strict house arrest as part of ongoing federal charges.
The judge overseeing the case imposed the most stringent conditions possible outside of detention, mandating that Pooh Shiesty’s father stay confined to his home while awaiting trial. This development comes amid a serious federal kidnapping and armed robbery investigation involving the Memphis rapper, his father, and seven others.
The charges stem from a coordinated incident that took place on January 10 at a Dallas music studio. Prosecutors allege that the group ambushed rapper Gucci Mane, who had arrived at the studio under the pretense of legitimate business dealings.
According to the prosecution, Gucci Mane was met by multiple armed men who forced him at gunpoint to sign contract release papers. Pooh Shiesty is accused of brandishing an AK-style pistol during the confrontation, compelling Gucci Mane to sign away his contract with 1017 Records. Prosecutors further claim that Pooh Shiesty’s father was present in the room and had pre-printed the release documents at a Staples store in Frisco, Texas.
Other victims were also targeted during the robbery. One individual was reportedly choked nearly unconscious, while another had a Rolex watch, wallet, and designer bag stolen.
The evidence presented by prosecutors included data from Pooh Shiesty’s electronic ankle monitor, surveillance footage from nearby buildings, and social media posts flaunting stolen property. Additionally, authorities recovered firearms from vehicles and homes linked to the defendants.
While Pooh Shiesty remains in custody in Dallas, his father’s release on house arrest signals the court’s willingness to allow some defendants limited freedom under strict supervision. All nine individuals involved face potential life sentences if convicted of the federal charges.
This case continues to develop as the federal prosecution moves forward with what remains a high-profile legal battle involving well-known figures in the hip-hop community.
