Pooh Shiesty allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with a house arrest supervisor who extended his day pass when Gucci Mane was robbed and kidnapped.
On Wednesday (June 24), the feds filed a motion laying out their case on why Pooh Shiesty should remain behind bars until his trial, in response to Pooh's latest request to be freed. In addition to labeling Pooh a dangerous gang leader who has proven he will not follow the stipulations set forth by the court, prosecutors claim to have evidence that Pooh was getting inside help to thwart the law.
"Investigators have now learned that Williams Jr. was involved in an inappropriate relationship with at least one of his VOA case supervisors, and that this VOA employee was actively involved in entering fake day passes that would allow Williams Jr. to travel to unapproved locations while he was supposed to be confined to his residence," the filing reads.
Prosecutors say this misconduct extended to the day of the alleged Gucci Mane robbery, where the employee allegedly entered three day-passes, allowing Pooh to travel, and contacted him 19 times throughout the day. The employee was later fired due to the misconduct, according to the filing.
Pooh Shiesty was on supervised release in January when he, his father, Big30 and six other men allegedly lured Gucci Mane to a Dallas recording studio and robbed him and the people he came with after making Guwop sign a contract release form at gunpoint. All nine men face federal robbery and kidnapping charges and are currently awaiting trial, which starts next February.

Prosecutors have shared photos of Gucci Mane being held at gunpoint while Pooh Shiesty stands next to him.
On Wednesday (June 24), the government filed its response to Pooh Shiesty's latest motion to be freed on pretrial release. In it, they argue that Pooh is a dangerous gang leader. In addition, they shared screenshots from a video taken from the studio on the day Gucci Mane was allegedly robbed.
One photo shows Pooh Shiesty's father carrying the contract that Gucci Mane was allegedly forced to sign. Another photo shows a man standing near Gucci Mane—identified in the photos by his initials R.D.—holding an assault rifle. In a third picture, Pooh Shiesty stands right next to Guwop. This was recorded by Big30 on his cell phone, prosecutors say.
In another section of the response, an alleged victim in the case wrote a statement pleading with the judge to keep Pooh locked up, saying he is "deeply concerned" about what Pooh may try to do to him if released.
Pooh Shiesty, his father, Big30 and six other men are set to stand trial next February for the alleged robbery and kidnapping of Gucci Mane and others. Investigators say Pooh lured Gucci Mane to a Dallas recording studio in January, where Pooh attempted to get out of his recording contract with Gucci by forcing him to sign a release form at gunpoint. Afterward, Pooh and his codefendants allegedly robbed Gucci and the people he came with.
Pooh and crew were arrested in April and are currently awaiting trial. Pooh's father and Big30 have been released on bond, while Pooh remains in custody. They face up to life in prison if found guilty.
