Rapper Pooh Shiesty is being held without bond in a Miami jail, charged with discharging a firearm in a Miami strip club.
Shiesty, born Lontrell Williams, Jr., surrendered to authorities following the shooting of a security guard at the King of Diamonds strip club on Memorial Day.
The guard survived the shooting. Secret Service agents were able to match the serial numbers of money dropped at the crime scene to numbers on money the rapper flashed on Instagram.
Williams turned himself in on June 8, and faces charges of aggravated battery and violent crime in connection with the shooting of the security guard.
A Miami-Dade judge ordered Williams held without bond. During the bond hearing, the rapper wore a suicide vest which is normally given to inmates who express suicidal thoughts.
The 21-year-old Memphis native is signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Records and Atlantic Records. He is best known for his singles “Main Slime Remix” and “Shiesty Summer.”
