KCE Takes Andy “Sgt. Hard” Berg Back To Court For Contempt – Berg Hasn’t Provided Records Or Paid Fees As Ordered

Judge Gagliardi is scheduled to hear the contempt motion on June 11, 2024 at 10am. Kenosha County Eye Editor Kevin Mathewson filed the lawsuit on March 11,

“Latte With The Law” Big Hit Monday Evening

Summer Moon GM Ashley Busser, a former police dispatcher and EMT, has spent the last two-and-one-half years running her family business. The franchise, is owned by her parents, Jim and Cathi Leibforth. They were quick to volunteer to host The Kenosha Police’s “Latte With The Law” Monday evening.

He has been with the department for just over two years. Before that, he worked as a Deputy for the Racine County Sheriff’s Office.

Kenosha Police Recommend Felony Charges Against Ousted County Board Supervisor Andy Berg

After reviewing dozens of pages of bank records, Kenosha Police believe that the embattled former County Board Member Andy Berg committed one or more felonies. According to a Kenosha Police spokesperson, many of the charges from Berg’s bank account for his non-profit “Garden of Eatin,” didn’t appear to benefit the non-profit at all, but instead, benefitted Berg, himself. Berg had served as a county board supervisor from 2016 to April of this year, being defeated by political newcomer Felix Garcia. Berg never won a contested race. He has been defeated in elections for Alderman in 2012, Sheriff in 2018, and finally, County Board in 2024. Kenosha Police sent over a criminal referral to Kenosha DA Mike Graveley asking him to charge Berg with one or more felonies for theft (over
