A Kenosha County narcotics investigation ended with the arrest of 40-year-old Daniel Love and the seizure of more than $62,000 worth of illegal drugs after detectives executed a May 6 search warrant in the area of 23rd Avenue and 46th Street. Investigators say they walked into a stash that ranged from psychedelics to opioids to high-potency THC products. Detectives also reported finding about $5,500 in U.S. currency and items they describe as consistent with drug distribution. Love was taken into custody and detectives referred charges to prosecutors.
What detectives found
According to a news release from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office, officers catalogued a lengthy list of seized substances: 100 MDMA tablets; 69 LSD tabs; 7.4 grams of fentanyl; 46.6 grams of cocaine; 1 gram of methamphetamine; 320 grams of psilocybin mushrooms; 445 grams of psychedelic edibles; 75 grams of THC flower; 168 grams of THC vape cartridges; 1,370 grams of THC edibles; 430 grams of THC wax; and 14 Xanax tablets.
The sheriff’s office materials and reporting from FOX6 News Milwaukee put the estimated street value of the haul at more than $62,000 and note that detectives recovered roughly $5,500 in cash during the search.
Charges and legal next steps
The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office says detectives are referring multiple counts of possession with intent to deliver for each drug type, along with charges for drug paraphernalia and maintaining a drug-trafficking place, to the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office. The sheriff’s office has not yet said whether formal criminal charges have been filed, and the investigation remains active. The district attorney’s office will review the referral and decide on any filings.
What officials are saying
Sheriff David Zoerner praised the Kenosha Drug Operations Group and the strike team in the written statement, saying, “Drug traffickers and organized criminal activity have no place in Kenosha County.” He added, “I commend the outstanding work of the Kenosha Drug Operations Group and Strike Team for their dedication, professionalism, and swift action during this investigation,” remarks carried by FOX6 News Milwaukee. Prosecutors will ultimately determine whether to pursue formal charges.
Enforcement in context
The seizure comes amid a wave of high-profile narcotics enforcement in Kenosha County, including a separate multi-million-dollar bust of counterfeit THC cartridges that investigators say produced tens of thousands of filled cartridges. Local reporting from NBC26 and sheriff’s office materials show KDOG has been at the center of multiple recent probes targeting fentanyl, counterfeit THC products and other illicit markets.
The sheriff’s office has not indicated whether further arrests are expected. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau. The case file will be reviewed by the Kenosha County District Attorney’s Office as prosecutors consider filing charges, and officials say updates will be released when available.
