Pooh Shiesty has faced no shortage of legal issues throughout his career, and now, it looks like he has even more on his plate. According to TMZ, the rapper was arrested yesterday (April 1) at his family home in Dallas, Texas. For now, it's unclear exactly what charges he's currently facing, but authorities have confirmed that the arrest was made in connection with a federal criminal case.
Pooh Shiesty isn't the only member of his family facing legal issues these days, either. The outlet reports that his father, Lontrell Williams Sr., was also taken into custody this week.
News of Pooh Shiesty and his father getting arrested comes shortly after the rapper's home in Cordova, a suburb of Memphis, was raided by the FBI. Reportedly, the government agency conducted "a federal court authorized search and arrest warrant."
For now, Pooh Shiesty's team has not publicly addressed his or his father's arrest.

Pooh Shiesty Legal Issues
This isn't Pooh Shiesty's first run-in with the law, as the hitmaker was released from prison just six months ago. He was behind bars for roughly 63 months due to a federal firearms conspiracy charge. In 2022, he pleaded guilty to the charge in connection with a robbery and shooting that took place at a Bay Harbor Islands hotel two years prior.
Shortly after Pooh Shiesty's release from prison, his attorney Bradford Cohen took to Instagram to celebrate his client's newfound freedom.
"@poohshiesty is ready....wait until you see hus comeback. He will be bigger than ever. I am always glad to see a client start the climb back up to elite status. Always kept it 💯," he wrote at the time. "The government wanted 10...he got 3. I always think there is a plan for people and his story isnt over its just starting."
