Pooh Shiesty

The legal troubles are mounting for Pooh Shiesty. The Memphis native, who was previously arrested for aggravated battery after a shooting at a Miami club, received another indictment for a separate incident that also occurred in the same town. On Tuesday, Shiesty was hit with charges in connection to an armed robbery, according to the Miami Herald. In October 2020, he and two friends, Bobby Brown and Jayden Darosa, were set to purchase marijuana and high-end sneakers in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida. Things went left and Shiesty and Brown allegedly shot two men in the butt and hip.

During the investigation, federal agents were able to connect the rapper to the crime thanks to a photo he posted on Instagram. A Louis Vuitton bag filled with $40,912 dollars that fell out of a Lamborghini McLaren that Shiesty was driving was discovered by investigators. They were able to confirm it was the rapper’s after the agents matched the serial number on the bills to the same wad of cash that Shiesty flaunted in the photo.

In addition to that, after a search of Darosa’s Instagram, investigators found him brandishing the same Draco that was used in the robbery. In the end, Shiesty was charged with discharging a firearm during a violent crime, conspiracy, and robbery under a law regulating commerce.

The new indictment comes after a judge denied his bond for the Miami club shooting despite the alleged victim’s decision to recant their prior statement.

After being arrested for aggravated battery earlier this month, Pooh Shiesty was again denied bond today and now may face additional, federal charges stemming from a previous case, according to the Miami Herald. The Memphis rapper’s attorneys argued that he should be granted bail after the alleged victim in the attack, a shooting in a Miami nightclub, recanted his prior statement, saying that he was under the effects of a power painkiller when police initially interviewed him.

However, the judge assigned to the case refused to grant a bond and prosecutors are investigating why the victim changed his story. The victim, a security guard at Miami’s King Of Diamonds, said that he couldn’t remember what happened in a statement provided by Pooh’s attorneys. The prosecutor told the judge, “This is very concerning to me. Our office is obviously investigating it.”

Meanwhile, it was also revealed during the proceedings that the US Attorney’s office has placed a “federal detainer” on his case, meaning that federal authorities could be seeking charges in a separate case. That case involves a shooting incident in Bay Harbor Islands in 2020; police say a drug deal went wrong. If additional charges are filed, the Miami case may end up being the least of Pooh Shiesty’s problems.
