Pooh Shiesty will remain behind bars after he allegedly robbed and kidnapped Gucci Mane.

Last week, the 26-year-old rapper, whose real name is Lontrell Williams, Jr., was arrested in Dallas, Texas after he allegedly brandished an AK-style pistol, forced the 46-year-old “I Get the Bag” rapper to sign a contract release, and robbed him.

On Wednesday (April 8), a judge denied Williams bail, determining that he was a flight risk.

The court also found that Williams was on home detention at the time of the alleged January 2026 incident and did not have permission to be in Dallas.

“Based on the credible evidence presented at the hearing, the court finds probable cause to believe that defendant committed the law violations alleged in the criminal complaint,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Renée Harris Toliver wrote in the order. “The court finds that there is no condition or combination of conditions the court can impose in this case which will reasonably assure defendant’s appearance as required or the safety of the community or another person if released.”

After Williams was denied bond, his longtime defense lawyer Bradford Cohen, told Fox 4 News that he found it “fascinating” that federal prosecutors took three months to bring charges and arrest the rapper.

Cohen said that the delay suggests that investigators had reservations about what actually happened inside the studio during the alleged incident, describing early witness statements as “very questionable.”

“The FBI doesn’t take three months to arrest someone if they believe everything that was said,” Cohen said. “There is no contract, this mystery contract. They have no contract. They have no video of this alleged signing of a contract. They have no guns. They have no jewelry. They have none of that physical evidence.”

Pooh Shiesty isn’t the only person involved in the alleged Gucci Mane kidnapping and robbery case.
