2023 Waukesha County pursuit; Milwaukee man sentenced
Papa Diallo
WAUKESHA COUNTY, Wis. - A Milwaukee man, already sentenced to prison for reckless homicide in the deaths of two people in Milwaukee, will now spend more years in prison for crimes committed in Waukesha County.
Papa Diallo, 25, was sentenced to three years in prison and three years of extended supervision in Waukesha County Court on Thursday, Feb. 6. This is consecutive to the 25 years in prison that he is already serving following his conviction in a crash that killed two people in Milwaukee.
In the Waukesha County case, he pleaded guilty to one count of Fleeing/Eluding an Office Causing Bodily Harm or Property Damage. Other counts of 2nd-Degree Recklessly Endangering Safety, Carrying Concealed Weapon, Possession of THC, Operating While Revoked, and Possession of an Illegally Obtained Prescription were dismissed, but read in.
Waukesha County case
The backstory:
Back in 2023, investigators say they pulled Diallo over for speeding just before midnight. Deputies say there was a crash and chase before Diallo tried to hide in someone's backyard.
"The information that we had from the passenger was that he was armed," said Waukesha County Deputy Sheriff McManigal.
Deputies then called in a specialty team to find the gun.
Waukesha County specialty units arrest 2 wanted men, separate cases
In a span of just a few hours, Waukesha County sheriff's deputies helped find two men wanted after two separate cases. Two specialty units worked together to help with those arrests.
Diallo was charged in that case, including carrying a concealed weapon and drug charges. He posted a $3,000 bond in that case.
Milwaukee County case
The backstory:
On April 23, 2024, the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office says a deputy tried to pull Diallo over.
Instead, Diallo took off and ran a red light at 27th and St. Paul, hitting two vehicles.
