KENOSHA, Wis. — A Milwaukee man who avoided prison after liberal Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Angelina Gabriele placed him on probation for serious felony convictions is now headed to state prison after that probation was revoked.

Deeavlon D. Riley, 25, pleaded guilty in February 2024 to felony receiving stolen property worth more than $10,000 and felony bail jumping. Gabriele withheld sentence and placed Riley on three years of probation rather than sending him to prison. A 60-day jail sentence was also imposed but stayed.

The case arose from a January 5, 2023 retail theft at an Ulta store in Highland Park, Illinois. Police were told approximately $20,000 worth of merchandise had been stolen and that the suspects fled toward Wisconsin in a silver Honda Accord. An Illinois State Trooper had already attempted to stop the vehicle before it crossed into Wisconsin.

Pleasant Prairie police spotted the Honda on I-94 and attempted to stop it. According to the criminal complaint, the vehicle accelerated away and reached approximately 120 mph on the interstate before continuing east on Highway 142 at about 100 mph. Police said the Honda later crossed the center line into oncoming traffic while passing other vehicles before officers were eventually able to stop it.

Riley was a rear-seat passenger and was not accused of driving the fleeing vehicle. Police found three garbage bags filled with stolen cologne and perfume, including two bags inside the passenger compartment that officers said were within reach of all four occupants.

Police also found 1.6 grams of marijuana on Riley. At the time, he was already out on bond in a Milwaukee County felony case and was under a condition that he commit no new crimes.

Riley was charged with receiving stolen property worth more than $10,000, possession of THC and two counts of felony bail jumping. He ultimately pleaded guilty to the stolen-property felony and one felony bail-jumping count, while the THC charge and second bail-jumping count were dismissed but read in.

The stolen-property conviction was a Class G felony carrying a potential maximum sentence of 10 years.

Probation Revoked, Prison Follows
Despite the seriousness of the convictions and the fact that Riley was already on felony bond when the Kenosha County crimes occurred, Gabriele gave him an opportunity to remain out of prison.

That opportunity failed.

Court records show Riley’s probation was revoked in 2026, requiring him to return to Gabriele for sentencing on the convictions for which she had previously withheld sentence.

On July 31, 2026, Gabriele sentenced Riley to one year and six months of initial confinement followed by three years of extended supervision on the stolen-property conviction.

She also sentenced him to one year of initial confinement followed by three years of extended supervision on the felony bail-jumping conviction. The sentences were ordered to run concurrently.

Riley will therefore serve a controlling prison sentence of 18 months followed by three years of extended supervision. He received 101 days of credit for time already served.

The sequence is straightforward: Riley committed a serious felony offense while already on felony bond, was convicted, avoided prison when Gabriele chose probation, later had that probation revoked and is now going to state prison.
