Judge Finds Probable Cause in Gucci Mane Kidnapping Case Against Rapper Pooh Shiesty

Prosecutors say the defendants held Gucci Mane at gunpoint and stole cash, jewelry and watches, with a judge finding probable cause to proceed.

  • A federal judge in Memphis Friday ruled probable cause exists to support the kidnapping case against nine suspects, including Lontrell Williams and his father.
  • Prosecutors allege the group confronted Radric Davis, known as Gucci Mane, at a Dallas recording studio on January 10, where Williams demanded his release from a recording contract at gunpoint.
  • Surveillance video, rental car receipts, and cell phone records tracked the defendants' movements, while witnesses report members choked one victim and stole Rolex watches and other valuables.
  • Williams remains in federal custody in Dallas as Attorney Ryan Raybould warned that offenses committed while on home confinement will serve as an aggravating factor if convicted.
  • Arthur Horne, representing Rodney Wright, also known as Big30, urged the public to wait until "all the facts come out" before passing judgment on those involved.
