Gun found near Waukesha High School; new video of arrest of juvenile suspect

WAUKESHA, Wisconsin. – We see new video of the 2023 arrest of a teenager by Waukesha police after he pointed a gun at North High School.

When Waukesha police received word of a teenager wearing a pillowcase over his head and pointing a gun at North High School, they stormed the area.

A new video shows the moment in 2023 when officers spotted the suspect, then 17-year-old Asahel Ali, hiding behind his garage next to the school.

In early August, Ali pleaded guilty to endangering public safety and evading bail. The charges of second-degree reckless endangerment of public safety and resisting an officer were dropped and entered into the court record for sentencing. A judge gave Ali credit for the year and a half he had already spent in prison – and granted him probation on the other charges.

Five days after the verdict, Ali met with probation staff for the first time. Investigators say it was not a good first impression.

While Ali was going over parole supervision rules with his probation officer, prosecutors say, he pulled down his sweatpants and exposed himself. When Ali complimented the woman on her “nail polish” and “muscles,” she told him to leave, according to investigators. Officials say Ali exposed himself again in the lobby — where he was arrested.

During a search, police found marijuana. “Weed is legal here, right?” Ali asked. Police said no and sent him back to jail. This time, prosecutors charged Ali with two counts of bail jumping, THC possession, and lewd and lascivious conduct.

Ali remains in prison. His lawyer has requested an examination of his sanity.
