Federal prosecutors say Pooh Shiesty’s home confinement had a hidden problem: an alleged “inappropriate relationship” with a supervisor responsible for monitoring him.
The claim surfaced in new court documents, as the rapper continues pushing for bond while awaiting trial in the federal case stemming from the alleged robbery and kidnapping of Gucci Mane.
Prosecutors allege Pooh Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., had a personal relationship with at least one employee at Volunteers of America, the nonprofit overseeing his home confinement after his 2022 conviction on conspiracy and drug trafficking charges.
That employee allegedly entered unauthorized day passes into the system, permitting him to travel outside his court-approved limits.
The filing claims three of those passes were entered on the day Gucci Mane was allegedly robbed and kidnapped at a Dallas recording studio. Prosecutors also allege the employee contacted Pooh Shiesty 19 times that day.
Volunteers of America has since terminated the employee, according to the filing.
Pooh Shiesty’s lawyer, Kent Schaffer, denied any wrongdoing tied to the relationship claim.
“We do not believe that there was anything inappropriate about our client’s relationship with any of the house arrest supervisors,” Schaffer told XXL. “That is not what he is on trial for and is simply a distraction.”
The rapper is accused of robbing and kidnapping Gucci Mane and others in January. Prosecutors also cite alleged supervision violations, including missed drug tests, a missed check-in, and a cold urine sample logged as a refusal.
