Welcome to Arrest Stories. A University of Nebraska wrestler was arrested in Lancaster County on an outstanding warrant from Texas for allegedly evading arrest using a vehicle. Here's what may have happened.
On January ninth, a Nebraska state trooper pulled over twenty-four-year-old Albert Ferrari Junior for speeding at ninety miles per hour on eastbound Interstate eighty near Waverly. During the traffic stop, the trooper discovered Ferrari had an outstanding warrant from Texas.
Ferrari, who goes by AJ and is currently on the University of Nebraska Lincoln wrestling team, was arrested and lodged into Lancaster County Jail. The warrant had been issued in October twenty twenty-five by authorities in Collin County, Texas, citing Ferrari for evading arrest or detention using a vehicle in Allen, Texas, a suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The original incident that led to the warrant allegedly occurred on October fourteenth, twenty twenty-five. Ferrari was wanted as a fugitive from justice for the evading arrest charge involving the use of a vehicle.
A Lancaster County judge set bond at twenty-five thousand dollars on Monday following Ferrari's arrest. The University of Nebraska issued a statement regarding the situation. The Nebraska Athletic Department said they are aware of the arrest of AJ Ferrari on Friday night related to an outstanding warrant in Texas and are awaiting more information from legal authorities involved with no additional comment at this time.
This arrest comes after Ferrari faced previous legal troubles. In twenty twenty-two, he was dismissed from the Oklahoma State wrestling team following allegations of rape and assault that led to a felony sexual battery charge. The sexual battery charge was later dismissed by the Payne County District Attorney's Office.
Ferrari had previously been a member of World Wrestling Entertainment's inaugural NIL class, announced in December twenty twenty-one, before transferring to Nebraska's wrestling program.
