KENOSHA, Wis. – A Kenosha man already facing charges in two pending criminal cases appeared in court again Monday after being arrested May 2 for allegedly inflicting severe injuries on a woman in a series of domestic assaults.
Mike Saleh Haswah, 41—who legally changed his name from Mohammed Haswah to Mike Haswah in 2019—was given a $50,000 cash bail by Court Commissioner William Michel II. The commissioner also dismissed three of the charges filed against Haswah—counts 5, 6, and 7—citing clerical defects. However, Assistant District Attorney Sarah Norkus stated in court that her office intends to re-file those charges.
Haswah appeared in court as the alleged victim sat nearby with visible bruising and wounds to her face and neck. Prosecutors say she suffered extensive trauma, including a swollen and off-center nose, bruising beneath both eyes, and visible belt-shaped marks on her neck.

According to the criminal complaint, the woman told police that on April 25, Haswah allegedly approached her from behind with a belt, wrapped it around her neck, and strangled her until she lost consciousness. She reported continued neck pain and difficulty swallowing days later.
In a second incident just days later, Haswah allegedly called his 16-year-old son into the room, told him to “watch this,” and punched the woman in the face with a closed fist. The impact caused her nose to gush blood, left her dazed and disoriented, and resulted in severe facial injuries. According to her statement, Haswah’s son then attempted to clean up the blood and apologized for what his father had done.
When police later contacted Haswah’s son, he denied seeing any violence and claimed the woman already had a black eye when she arrived. But detectives noted that the injuries were consistent with her account and inconsistent with the son’s version of events.
Haswah is charged in this latest case (2025CF000605) with:
- Strangulation and suffocation with use of a dangerous weapon (Class H felony)
- Substantial battery with use of a dangerous weapon (Class I felony)
- First-degree reckless injury (Class D felony)
- Aggravated battery (Class E felony)
- Intimidation of a victim (Class G felony)
- Felony and misdemeanor bail jumping
.
The three dismissed charges are expected to be re-filed. At the time of his arrest, Haswah was already free on bond in two other Kenosha County cases.
In the first (2024CM000600), he is accused of kicking his wife in the stomach during an argument. That case includes charges of battery and disorderly conduct, both with domestic abuse enhancers. He posted a $750 cash bond and was ordered not to commit any new crimes.
In the second (2024CF1500), Haswah faces serious drug and weapons charges after authorities say they recovered cocaine, methamphetamine, hydrocodone, and THC products from his residence. The drugs were allegedly discovered in areas accessible to children, including a loaded pistol in his vehicle and narcotics in an unsecured bedroom closet. He was released on a reduced $20,000 bond in that case.
Haswah is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on May 13.If convicted on all counts across all three cases, Haswah faces over 70 years in prison.

For the safety of the women and children around him, I hope he’s locked up a long time. There are few such clear examples of a scourge on society and a danger to others.
Nah I feel people like this are better off left in society because it’s inevitable they talk shit to the wrong person and fuck around/find out.
do you want to meet him .He is no good let him go to jail . HE will wake up fast.
Wow, the kid lied for him? Maybe his kid needs to know what it felt like.
He’s probably afraid of what will happen to him. Seems he’s lived thus for some time and his father keeps getting out on bond with this ridiculous justice system.
Someone who wishes that on a minor child deserves to have it done to them
nah, that kid learned from his dad. He’s no better, he’s protecting that monster.
Thsts because he is afraid and thats all he was taught to do. You are what you eat!
Dont ever say this stupid ass shit again dumbass
Yea- this comment makes me sick and I think the person who posted it (the middle aged man alone in his mothers basement) and all the people who “liked it” should be subjected to being alone with a psychopath or at least someone who would intimidate bully and beat them.
His kid will grow up an abused.
He’s kinda cute should hit me up first. Ruff I say….ruff
You are a sick person!!!!
It’s a troll, scroll and move on. They are d-bags and easy to ignore.
🤢🤮

i dont think anyones hitting you up after naming a child like that.
He’s gonna choke you out too. Idiot
I hope he gets the fullest extent of the law!!!
Lock him up and throw away the key! He also is grooming his son to be as sick as he is to women!
Disgusting human!
this is a very common treatment of women per his religious beliefs.
Don’t be like Mike!
Why is he getting released when he keeps bail jumping why isn’t he locked up until trial?
What do you expect from someone named Mohammed?
Somehow I think previous drugs and unsecured weapons charges are much more relevant to this story than his name.
Tough guy with women….needs same thing done to him ….no doubt would cry like a baby !!!
Deport that POS!!
This horrible monster deserves the death penalty! My gosh. I can’t believe he was out on bail for two other charges. He should be denied bail! That poor woman
He just looks like a steaming piece of shit.
He needs to be locked up and throw away the key!
Bring back segregation
If he’s beating up the woman isn’t it likely he’s beating the kid too? Why isn’t cps involved in this
CPS failed his children, he has 3
Cps is a for profit child trafficking organization
They’re going to love him in prison.
According to linkedin, he’s an insurance agent for Banker’s Life.
The state should immediately move to have his previous cash bonds forfeited – $750 and $20k.
He hasn’t worked for Banker’s Life since 2020 but never updated his Linkedin to Drug mule
Him and his victim are addicts. He is or was a drug mule. He broke rule #4 never get high on your own supply.
You must know this pos too because this is absolutely a true statement.
We were acquaintances and he went from shady to POS.
Isn’t that rule 1?
According to theto 10 crack commandments (Notorious BIG) it’s #4
Dont take down freedom of speech💯😤
