Lontrell Williams Sr., Pooh Shiesty&#8217;s father, is allegedly the man in the picture on page 8 holding a document, believed to be the recording contract release form.<\/p>\n<p>On pages 8 and 11, the court documents allege Pooh Shiesty&#8217;s dad printed the contract release form at a Staples just hours before the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say the video, which NBC 5 is working to obtain, captures Gucci Mane stating that &#8220;Pooh Shiesty dropped from 1017 (Records)&#8221; after signing the form, while someone blocked the door with a gun.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged robbery has now been valued at $450,000, including Gucci Mane&#8217;s wedding band, watch, earrings and cash, according to page 9 of the court documents,<\/p>\n<p>Pooh Shiesty only got out of a Florida prison last year for an unrelated gun charge. He was supposed to be on house arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors allege Pooh Shiesty was able &#8220;to travel to unapproved locations while he was supposed to be confined to his residence,&#8221; according to court docs, because he was &#8220;involved in an inappropriate relationship with at least one of his&#8221; case supervisors. That caseworker was later fired.<\/p>\n<p>Text messages in page 21 of the court docs appear to show Pooh Shiesty talking about being &#8220;high and drunk,&#8221; which would be a violation of his probation.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say they have five cooperating victims\/witnesses who corroborate the digital and physical evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Pooh Shiesty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcdfw.com\/news\/local\/rapper-pooh-shiestys-trial-pushed-to-february-as-he-remains-in-kaufman-county-jail\/4034049\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">remains in the Kaufman County jail, awaiting trial in February<\/a> of 2027.
