KENOSHA, Wis. — A Kenosha County man was arrested Friday after authorities seized several dogs and drugs during a search warrant at a home in Kenosha.

On Friday morning, the Kenosha Drug Operations Group, KSD Tactical Response Team, and KPD Special Investigations Unit (SIU) conducted a search warrant in the 6800 black of 14th Avenue.
