GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A local gang member will enter a plea Monday to a half-dozen charges in connection with being an alleged drug dealer.
29-year-old Kyle R. Rosa is charged with five felonies, including second-degree sexual assault, maintaining a drug trafficking place and possession of a firearm as a convicted felon.
According to the criminal complaint, Green Bay police conducted a high-risk traffic stop of a vehicle in which Rosa was driving on May 19.
Officers conducting the stop spotted Rosa driving a car which made a sudden stop on the side of the road not initiated by them. The cops immediately ordered Rosa and a passenger to show their hands outside of the windows.
As officers approached, the passenger kept dropping his hands towards his waistband. He allegedly refused commands initially, but got him to the ground and in handcuffs. One of the cops searched his front waist area and a small black handgun was found.
Rosa was taken into custody without incident. His mom arrived at the police station to speak with officers, upset that Rosa had gotten himself into trouble. She told cops that she, “Knows he’s in a gang because of his tattoos.” The mom added that she doesn’t know anything about any drug use that goes on in her house and the car he was driving she bought for him.
The mom allegedly told officers that Kyle lives in the house with her and that, “The only guy she knew Kyle had was a shotgun that he was out on bond for from a previous case.” She apparently isn’t aware of any other guns or drugs inside the house.
Authorities were then told by Rosa’s mom that back on April 27, there was a girl standing in the hallway of her home who told her she needed to get her friend. The mom went downstairs to Rosa’s bedroom where she found a girl lying nearly naked and asleep. Rosa was next to her fully clothed.
Rosa woke up as his mom attempted to wake the girl up, and he said he would take her where she needed to be. The girl eventually got her things, pulled up her dress and left.
Investigators also interview Rosa’s live-in girlfriend, who allegedly admitted to being a meth user since October 2015. According to the complaint, she, “Was first introduced to methamphetamine when she was tricked into snorting it.” Rosa’s girlfriend claims that she used to use cocaine, but replaced it with meth which she smokes every morning and afternoon.
Rosa’s girlfriend told police that she’s unemployed, “But pulls retail thefts or she will borrow from friends and family. She spends approximately $50 for a bag of meth and she stated she does not use any other narcotics.”
During a search of Rosa’s home, investigators found the following items:
- A black Cobra .380 caliber handgun in the kitchen with a magazine that had five 30-caliber bullets inside of it along with one bullet in the chamber.
- A Blackhawk holster
- An open box containing a clear plastic gem bag with a white crystal like substance. It weighed about 3.36 grams and tested positive for methamphetamine
- A Ruger .22 caliber rifle containing a magazine with 25 rounds inside and one round in the chamber.
- A pink pouch containing a small gem bag with black and gold skulls on it. Inside was a crystal like substance. It weighed about 0.03 grams and tested positive for meth.
- A bundle of unused black gem bags
- Four .25 caliber bullets standing up in the center of a dresser
- Three 12 gauge shotgun shells
- 25 rounds of .380 caliber ammunition in a 50 round box
- 26 rounds of .25 caliber ammunition in a 50 round box
- 88 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition in a 100 round box
- A black leather vest with patches on it. It coincides with an outlaw biker style vest commonly worn by the Latin Kings
- A clear vial with a black lid and the writing of 32.60 and a white crystal powder residue inside of it
- A small silver scale
- A bundle of clear plastic gem bags
- A gem bag with pandas on it containing several unused cellophane bags
- A portion of a white and red straw that had been cut off with residue inside of it
- A plastic bag containing alcohol pads, elastic bands, small needles

One of those contained 0.29 grams of a green leafy substance which later tested positive for the presence of THC.
Meantime, investigators were checking into an alleged complaint of sexual assault by Rosa on a woman filed on May 13.
The victim, per the complaint, told police that she first met Rosa (who also goes by the street name “Doja”) in March. She added that she believed that Rosa was a, “High ranking Latin King.”
She told authorities that she had been smoking meth since February or March. Her previous meth dealer had been arrested, so she began getting meth from Rosa. Rosa allegedly asked her to sell meth for him, which she declined. However, she admitted to her and a friend stealing items like electronics and cologne and reselling them to pay Rosa or exchange for meth.
The victim allegedly went to Rosa’s home, and that his mom was sleeping in the basement at the time. Also home with Rosa then was an older man and a younger man who appeared to be a teenager.
She told police that her and Rosa smoked meth together. After she went into the bathroom, Rosa, “Came in and brought her the meth she had bought from him.” It was about 1 gram of meth, in which she allegedly gave Rosa a $146 gift card.
Investigators were told then that she injected the meth and started not feeling good. She wanted to get away from the older man in the living room who was talking to her, so Rosa took her downstairs into his bedroom.
The complaint states that she allegedly laid down on his bed and told him, “Thank you for taking care of me.” He told her, “I got you. You’re good.” That allegedly was the last thing she remembers.
She allegedly woke up later to Rosa’s mom waking her up. His mom was holding her clothes and told her she needed to go. It was at this point, the victim believed she had sex. She told authorities that she remembers not being able to make Rosa stop, “Because she could not talk due to the meth she had used.” The victim later found out that if you, “Use too much meth it makes you fall asleep and has the opposite effect.”
Authorities interviewed Rosa, who admitted knowing the alleged assault victim. He told them he remembers having sex with her about a month ago, “However indicated it was consensual.”
Rosa claims that he has known the girl found about a month-and-a-half, that he previously smoked meth with her about 6 or 7 times and she doesn’t like to smoke it and typically shoots it.
Officers were told by Rosa that she came over to his house to sell him a gift card. They allegedly smoked meth together and then she, “Shot up some more meth she had brought with her.” Afterward, Rosa claims that she began coming on to him and went downstairs with her to have sex.
The next morning, Rosa told officers that her friend showed up to take her to meet her parole officer. He claims to only have had sex with her once, but that he didn’t want a relationship so he ended things.
Rosa had told investigators that he never sold meth to the alleged victim, but earlier in the same interview he was asked about if he had ever sold to her, Rosa replied, “Mm hmm.” When asked if it took place at his house, Rosa stated, “Ya, she used to come over and chill.”
The interview also covered why Rosa had so many guns and drugs in his home. He told officers that he, “Keeps the gun for protection because he is affiliated with the Latin Kings and doesn’t have the gun because he sells drugs.”
Rosa also stated that he rides around armed because he heard someone’s cousin had put an “S.O.S.” on him. That means “Shoot On Site” or “Smash On Site”. He also claims images of him holding 3 guns on his Facebook page under the name “Charlie Brown” was done, “As a joke and was trying to be cool.”
Kyle R. Rosa has previous arrests for carrying a concealed weapon, battery, eluding, taking hostages without harm, possession of THC and possession of a firearm. On January 12, 2016, Rosa was charged with possess firearm by a felon, possess short barreled shotgun and endangering safety by use of a dangerous weapon. He also was previously convicted of felony possession with intent to deliver THC in Milwaukee County.
Rosa returns to Brown County Circuit Court on June 13 for his arraignment. If convicted of all these counts, Rosa faces over 60 years in prison.
