Milwaukee Landlord Accused in Major Drug Conspiracy Case

A Milwaukee landlord was taken into federal custody after investigators alleged he ran a long-term scheme that allowed drug trafficking operations inside his rental properties.

According to a criminal complaint, the 52-year-old property owner controlled more than 150 buildings with over 500 units across the city. Authorities claimed at least 25 of those locations were linked to drug sales, overdoses, or were allegedly used by dealers.
