Pooh Shiesty was locked up primarily for charges related to a 2020 shooting incident in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, and a federal firearm-related conviction connected to drug-trafficking crimes. Specifically, he pleaded guilty in 2022 to conspiring to possess firearms in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes. The incidents involved shooting at a gas station, armed robbery, aggravated assault, battery, and criminal theft during an attempted purchase of marijuana, codeine, and sneakers, as well as a separate assault with a firearm at a Miami strip club. He was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison but was released early after serving about three years of his sentence.
