KENOSHA, Wis. — Just days after being charged in a sweeping drug and gun case, former County Board Supervisor and former Corrections Sergeant Andy “Sergeant Hard” Berg has created a GoFundMe campaign seeking money for legal fees — and it is already raising eyebrows across Kenosha County.

In the fundraiser description, Berg openly admits that the charges stem from choices he and his co-defendant made, writing that over the past four months, “my girlfriend and I made some decisions that led to us being arrested.” The statement reads like an acknowledgment that his actions led to his legal trouble, not a claim of being falsely accused.
However, instead of taking responsibility, Berg then pivots to blaming others. He points the finger at his ex-wife, claiming the situation ties back to child support disputes and tutoring costs. He also blames the Kenosha County District Attorney, suggesting there is “vindictiveness” driving the prosecution.
But that narrative doesn’t align with reality.
The case against Berg was not initiated by the District Attorney’s Office. Rather, the investigation was conducted by the Kenosha Drug Operations Group (KDOG), a specialized law enforcement task force that handles serious narcotics cases. Prosecutors only became involved once the case was developed and referred for charging.
In the GoFundMe post, Berg portrays himself as a victim of circumstance and court rulings, claiming child support stress forced him into bad decisions. He writes about missing his daughter, noting a court-ordered no-contact restriction, and asks the public to contribute funds to help him “have the charges dismissed or at least lowered.”
Meanwhile, donors have not exactly lined up. As of publication, the fundraiser has brought in just $50 toward an $8,000 goal.
Community Reaction: “Flagged” And Questioned
Kenosha County Eye has received numerous tips from readers drawing attention to the fundraiser. Multiple people report flagging the GoFundMe campaign as inappropriate based on the platform’s stated policies. Whether GoFundMe will take any action is unknown. Critics note the platform is commonly viewed as politically left-leaning and often slow or unwilling to take down controversial fundraisers.

Berg Out, Girlfriend Still In Jail
Despite portraying himself as financially desperate, Berg’s father, Walter Berg, stepped in and posted Berg’s $75,000 cash bail — allowing Berg to walk out of jail pending court proceedings.
His girlfriend and alleged co-defendant, however, remains behind bars on the same $75,000 bail even though her criminal exposure is significantly lower. The imbalance has not gone unnoticed.

Will Judge Kerkman Donate Too?
One question already circulating in the community is whether Berg’s longtime close friend, Deputy Chief Judge Chad Kerkman, will support this fundraiser. Kerkman has previously contributed financially to Berg-related ventures, including Berg’s former “Garden of Eatin” nonprofit — a project later tied to theft allegations.
Whether Kerkman will reach for his wallet this time remains to be seen.
For now, Berg is free, his girlfriend sits in jail, his fundraiser is being flagged, and the criminal case against him continues. Berg returns to court December 26 for a preliminary hearing.

His leftist buddies that cry about accountability will donate. That bail money someone used coulda been used to help with child support. F it let’s deal drugs and sell guns and play victim.
Con Man
What an absolute scumbag! His daughter is better off not being around him. A go fund me for someone who is poisoning the community with drugs. Go F yourself, you piece of trash
Anyone giving to this fund is a fool! This conman and druggie isn’t worth it!
Go Fuck Yourself
I feel dirty just knowing this person lives and breathes in the same County as I do !
All his opinionated political friends on social media stay absolutely quiet about his actions. All a bunch of hypocrites
I tried donating 10 cents but it wouldn’t let me 🙁
It’s still at $50 as of 2:35 p.m. It’s hard to imagine someone saying, “You know what? I should donate to this criminal’s legal fees instead of buying Christmas toys for needy kids.”
I’m sure he donated the $50 lol.
Hard it is!
We should probably pitch in before he turns out more amateur gay porn
I can see who will contribute to the fund. Let’s say Jerkman, Niccolai, the local adult film industry, and other honorable members of our community.
I don’t think go fund me is allowed for criminals or a defense. States in their rules
That’s why he changed the verbiage Criminals are sneaky
White TRASH!
A total narcissist….always someone else’s fault smh. Why did he lose all previous jobs….was it his ex’s fault too! Take accountability you piece of shit! GoFundMe?man you have some nerve but then again this is what cons & narcissists do!
It’s hard out here
-Andy Berg
Maybe it’s a good thing, let him help fellow idiots deprive themselves of their money, and then he’ll end up going to prison anyway. If all his friends chip in, you’ll just have a higher bail next time, and there will be a next time. Let’s see how long it takes for his dad loses his bail money.
I’m donating ! He deserves a the price of a movie ticket for all the entertainment he provides!
Maybe chance to bring John Steinbrick jr. Will donate. After all he stoled all that money from the village of Pleasant prairie. Maybe his dad should also donate. They were friends of Andy Berg also.
Don’t forget Alderperson Anthony Kennedy. All corrupt.
Only a low life criminal like him would beg for money and play victim. Didn’t pay child support, had a child in the home while selling drugs and guns to felons, yet cries in the go fund me about how great of a dad. You berg are the epitome of a professional victim.
Bear fan says it all
Get used to the Bears kicking your ass.
You see how caputo and Niccolai were all over the Kenosha county da page when they posted berg story? It’s insane how the left cries accountability but supports their own criminals. Hypocrites. All of em
Have the kerkman’s donated yet? I think Chad likes a little “hard” times
