A two-day law enforcement sting of Kenosha County drug dealers last week ended with charges against 39 people, according to the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department.

The department had earlier released information on what it called “Operation Smackdown” on May 18-19, when the Kenosha Drug Operations Group made a series of arrests. Many of the arrests were of people targeted over months through controlled drug buys.

According to information provided by the department Tuesday, the operation ended with the seizure of 527 grams of cocaine, 77 grams of heroin, 1,407 grams of marijuana, 4.1 grams of mushrooms and prescription drugs.

They also seized seven guns, four vehicles and more than $40,000 in cash.

Three Paddock Lake men, Robert Faber, Matthew Parkey and Kevin Kohlmeyer, had the largest amount of drugs, cash and guns seized.

According to the Sheriff’s Department, about a 190 grams of cocaine, about 620 grams of marijuana, $32,000 in cash and six guns were seized from the Paddock Lake house in the 6600 block of 224th Avenue. There were also scales, baggies and white powder used to cut cocaine, according to the criminal complaints.
