what did pooh shiesty go to jail for

Pooh Shiesty went to jail primarily for federal charges related to conspiracy to possess firearms in furtherance of violent and drug-trafficking crimes. His legal troubles stemmed from a 2020 incident in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida, where he and associates were involved in an armed confrontation during a drug and sneaker transaction that escalated to gunfire and assault. He faced charges including armed robbery, aggravated assault, battery, and criminal theft. In January 2022, he pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy charges involving firearms and violent drug-trafficking crimes, which resulted in a sentence of 63 months in prison. He was released early in October 2025 after serving about three years of his sentence due to time served and good behavior. The incidents involved shooting at a gas station in Memphis, armed robbery and assault in Florida, and a shooting at a Miami strip club in 2021.
