Back in April, Pooh Shiesty, his father Lontrell Williams Sr., and Big30 were arrested for the alleged kidnapping and robbery of Gucci Mane. According to reports, nine men were in on the alleged incident. The alleged motive for the kidnapping was an issue with Shiesty and Big30's record deals.
Since that time, it has been revealed that Pooh Shiesty will be going to trial as of July 6. As for his father, Williams Sr. has been attempting to get a release from federal custody.
According to WREG Channel 3 News, Williams Sr. has gotten his wish. He is now scheduled to be released from custody soon. However, that does not mean the case is over. He is still part of the prosecution and will have to sit tight as he awaits further instructions on the case.
