Pooh Shiesty Faces Federal Charges in Armed Robbery

On April 2nd, Memphis rapper Poo Scheisty and eight others just got hit with federal charges for an armed robbery and kidnapping at a Dallas music studio.

The U.S. Attorney's Office dropped the news on April 2nd, 2026, after an FBI probe.

Sheasty, real name Montreal Williams Jr., set up the meet with three music industry pros back in January to talk his recording contract.

They raided the family's Memphis home that same day, nabbing Sheasty's dad, Montreal Williams Sr. 2.

Eight of the crew got locked up Wednesday across Dallas, Memphis, and Nashville.

The ninth was Sheasty himself, fresh off home detention from a three-year bid on a Miami gun charge.

He got out in October 2025.

Scheisty was signed to Gucci mains 117 label before his past legal heat, and this spot was supposedly about cutting ties.

Folks in the industry are buzzing since it ties back to his come-up, but now he's looking at serious time again for jumping into street drama, post-prison.

Details from the feds painted as a straight arm takeover. Sheasty allegedly pulled an AK-style pistol and forced one victim to sign off on the contract right there.

Electronic monitoring data even pinned him at the scene, blowing his detention rules wide open.

This saga shows how quick the game can flip for rising stars, with Sheasty back in the crosshairs and the full crew facing trial ahead.

Keep an eye on how it shakes out for hip-hop's next chapter.
