It’s been nearly one year since Memphis’ Pooh Sheisty was sentenced to over five years in federal prison. The 1017 signee took a plea deal for three separate crimes, however, his battles are far from over. Prosecutors are now asking that Sheisty and his co-defendants pay restitution due to injuries sustained by their victims. According to VladTV—who obtained legal courts docs on the case—the price for their suffering totals $1.1 million.
Correspondingly, the documents detail the “expected cost that the victims will incur to treat the injuries” they sustained in 2020. The incident, which occurred in October of that year, was the result of a drug deal gone wrong. Pooh Sheisty’s assailants Bobby Brown and Jayden Darosa were charged with the shootings. For this reason, the wounded are asking for over half a million dollars each, totaling $1,149,828.43. In part, a doctor says for either of them to receive treatment from an orthopedic surgeon over the next five years will cost $200-800 per visit. The restitution will also cover past and other future surgeries.
Pooh Sheisty Provides Update From Prison
Pooh Sheisty’s defense team believes the payment requests are ludicrous, seeing they were the ones with drugs. “So it's essentially Tony Montana is asking the Colombians to pay him for the injuries he received," says lawyer Bradford Cohen. This news comes just one day after Pooh—real name Longfellow Williams Jr.—uploaded new photos from prison. “[For] my fans, supporters, [loved] ones holding me down everyday, keep keeping it solid[,] I promise it don’t get unnoticed,” he wrote. “[I] still remain untouched, millions still in double digits!… I was up 8 figures[, Jay-Z] can’t even relate.” On the contrary, he shared some choice words with his enemies.
1017 boss recently Gucci Mane spoke out against the “unacceptable” prison conditions Pooh Sheisty may be facing while incarcerated. “We do not pay attention to how inmates in the US are treated!,” La Flare shared. “@poohsheisty has been sent to a prison over 1500 miles from his home, 23 hr lock down and given empty food trays. USP Pollack should be investigated immediately.” Sheisty is currently serving his time in Victorville Penitentiary out in California.
