Azeez Hakeem
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — A man who burned down a laundromat in 2019 will spend over a decade behind bars.
Azeez Hakeem was sentenced Tuesday afternoon to spend 13 years in prison for three felony charges of arson of a building without the owner’s consent, burglary of a building, and carrying a concealed weapon. Hakeem will also spend 8 years on extended supervision following his prison sentence.
Hakeem took a plea deal back in August of 2020, where he pleaded guilty to the three felony counts. All three counts had a repeat modifier attached to them.
Hakeem was accused of setting the Rainbow Coin Laundry on fire after he was told to remove his belongings from the building. At the time he had been staying at the laundromat while helping the owner maintain the facility and keep homeless people from sleeping in the building.
