Judge Grants $250,000 Bond and House Arrest to Pooh Shiesty’s Father in Gucci Mane Case

The ruling follows prosecutors detailing tracking data, video and social posts in a federal kidnapping and robbery case that could bring life sentences.

Overview

  • Lontrell Williams Sr. received a $250,000 bond with home confinement and electronic monitoring under the strictest release terms.
  • He may leave only for court dates in Dallas, while his son Pooh Shiesty remains in federal custody there.
  • Prosecutors say a January 10 Dallas studio ambush targeted Gucci Mane, forced release paperwork at gunpoint, and stole a Rolex, a wallet, and a designer bag, with forms allegedly printed at a Staples in Frisco.
  • Investigators pointed to ankle‑monitor location data, surveillance video from nearby buildings, social media posts showing stolen items, and guns recovered from cars and homes tied to defendants.
  • A judge found probable cause to advance the case and set more detention hearings, with eight arrests across Dallas, Memphis, and Nashville and a ninth suspect still at large.
