Federal prosecutors indicted rapper Pooh Shiesty and eight others for robbing three men at gunpoint and kidnapping them in Dallas earlier this year. The attack was tied to a contract dispute involving rapper Gucci Mane's record label. Shiesty and eight others, including his father, were arrested on federal charges Thursday. The case matters because it links violent criminal conduct to business disputes in hip-hop and could bring stiff federal penalties.
