On July 10, 2024, a Kenosha Police Detective was notified by the Drug Enforcement Administration that a vehicle had been stopped in Chicago that contained 686.3 kilograms of marijuana. The marijuana was concealed in a vehicle that was registered to Haswah, Mike Haswah. The driver of the vehicle stated that Haswha paid him $3,200 to transport the marijuana to a warehouse in Chicago. That same day, the detective observed Haswah at his residence, located at 9517 70th St., in Whitecaps. Haswah frantically brought 3 large duffel bags out to his vehicle and put them inside. He then got in his vehicle and drove off at a high rate of speed west on 75th St. toward the Interstate. The detective was unable to follow Haswah on that day and discontinued his investigation because the DEA informed him that they were investigating Haswah.

  1. I expect to see him back on the street and dealing drugs soon, based on the way the DA’s office handles things.

    Or they’ll just send it to Racine to disappear.

    1. Hey look! It’s Prolapsed Aids Hole! Still impersonating other people like the gay little jew you are. I have rope for when you need it. Join that 45% of the lgbtP freaks that end their life. Enjoy your fruitless life, faggot.

        1. Are you a Christian by chance? If you are, you are practicing Christianity really bad!

          People like you just make me chuckle. I imagine you tossing and turning in bed, sweat pouring down your face, and frantic obsessive thoughts of “the gays are having butt sex!” running through your head as you detox from your drug and booze bender.

          Are you repressing some incredibly strong feelings of homosexuality by chance? As a straight person, I just cannot understand the obsessiveness over what somebody else does with their genitalia?

  2. The police are doing their jobs and they’re doing it darn well. The drug squad team for Kenosha police is phenomenal! Now they just need to keep this merchant of death behind bars! DA if you’re reading… do your job and give NO plea deals! And whoever you are judge, you better hope drugs deaths never hit home to your family so you better judge rightly! Lock them up for good!

  3. “He had 2 children with him, a three-year-old and a 16-year-old. These are Haswah’s children and reside with him at that location.”

    Law enforcement know about the drugs and sounds like they were aware of a three year old child involved and they did not intervene from July 10 untill Ocober 8th?

    Either the details in the article are wrong or law enforcement priortized a drug bust over the safety of a thre year old child.
    No charges regarding child abuse or firearm violations?
    This deal needs some explaining.
