Rapper's Dad Denied Property Access Amid Kidnapping Charges
15 Jul
Summary
- Father faces federal kidnapping charges while under house arrest.
- Judge denied request to manage properties due to safety concerns.
- Properties are the sole source of income for family support.
Lontrell Williams Sr., the father of rapper Pooh Shiesty, remains under house arrest as he faces federal kidnapping charges. Williams Sr. recently had a request denied to modify his release conditions to allow him to manage and renovate his extensive property portfolio in the Memphis, Tennessee area.
He argued that managing over eight properties is crucial for his family's financial support and legal expenses. The properties represent his sole income source. His motion sought an adjusted home detention or curfew to facilitate this work.
Despite his plea, Judge David L. Horan determined that Williams Sr.'s current home incarceration is the most appropriate measure. The judge cited the need to reasonably assure Williams's appearance in court and the safety of the public.
