In one incident, a woman saw the car being stolen about seven hours after she paid for the vehicle. When she checked the CCTV cameras installed at her home, she found Diallo coming back to her property and driving the car away. The theft happened around 1 am on June 13, 2025.
The report said the woman saw the same vehicle later listed for sale again on Facebook Marketplace and decided to reach out to the seller with a different account. "The woman asked if the vehicle was still available, the seller responded yes, and appeared willing to make arrangements to sell the vehicle again," the police report stated.
During interrogation, Diallo denied having any involvement in selling cars and claimed that he had never sold cars on Facebook Marketplace.
The officer said, "I showed him the name YabebaI Cherinet and asked if he recognised the name. He said no. I asked him if he had used that name to sell vehicles on Facebook Marketplace. He said, 'No, prove it.'"
Diallo now faces 14 felony counts, including six counts of first-degree tampering with a motor vehicle and eight counts of forgery. Prosecutors say each count carries a maximum sentence of seven years in prison. If convicted on all counts, Diallo could face up to 98 years in prison.
Diallo remains in custody at the Jackson County Detention Center on a $30,000 cash-only bond. The next hearing is scheduled for January 27.
