Pooh Shiesty has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to a single firearms conspiracy charge.The rapper – whose real name is Lontrell Donell Williams Jr. – was charged over his involvement in an October 2020 shooting at a hotel in Bay Harbor Islands in Florida.
He is said to have shot a 28-year-old man in the buttocks.After Williams pleaded guilty to a single firearms conspiracy charge earlier this year, federal prosecutors dropped three additional charges that could have resulted in a lifetime prison sentence.
