Palm Beach County authorities announced a second arrest in the ongoing investigation of Not Your Bakery LLC, a Delray Beach‑based distributor of hemp and THC products. The office identified Hassan Mohamed Soueid, 33, as a co‑owner and managing member of the company.
Charges filed
According to court documents, Soueid faces multiple felony counts, including money laundering, organized fraud and violations of controlled‑substance statutes. Prosecutors allege the firm sold THC products that exceeded the legal hemp threshold while marketing them as compliant hemp items.
Earlier arrest
The latest arrest follows the earlier detention of former co‑owner and chief financial officer Casey Anne Smith, who was taken into custody earlier this year on related charges. WPBF previously reported on Smith’s case.
Investigation status
Investigators with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office say the probe remains active and that additional arrests have not been ruled out. The agency continues to examine the company’s operations and financial activities for further violations.
Community impact
Not Your Bakery LLC has been a recognizable name in the local market for hemp‑derived products. The arrests underscore the importance of compliance with state hemp regulations and reinforce law‑enforcement efforts to protect consumers from illegal THC distribution.
Residents with information about the case are encouraged to contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
