KENOSHA COUNTY, Wisconsin (WDJT) — A former Kenosha County supervisor was in court for a bond hearing Monday, Dec. 15, on what he thought was a theft charge, but the state attorney said he’s also facing several drug trafficking charges.
Andrew Berg, 47, is being accused of misusing thousands of dollars belonging to Garden of Eatin’, an area food charity.
Court documents say Berg was using the group’s tractor for personal use and spending money from the charity’s account for himself.
Jail records show Berg is being held on several drug charges, including maintaining a drug trafficking place, and possession of meth, designer drugs, psilocybin, THC, and other narcotics with intent to deliver.
In court, the state asked for a $300,000 cash bond referring to the drug charges.
Berg’s defense attorney had no documents from the state on those charges and could only tout Berg’s ties to the area and 20 years of military service to reduce bond.
The judge set a $75,000 cash bond.
Berg is due back in court Dec. 17.
