Just hours after helping Nebraska win its dual against Purdue on Friday night, Husker heavyweight AJ Ferrari was pulled over for speeding and was detained by the Nebraska State Patrol on an outstanding warrant for “evading arrest” in Allen, Texas. The warrant was issued in October.
Nebraska Athletics issued the following statement, according to Amie Just of the Lincoln Journal Star:
“The Nebraska Athletic Department is aware of the arrest of AJ Ferrari on Friday night related to an outstanding warrant
in Texas. We are awaiting more information from legal authorities involved and have no additional comment at this time.”
NTV News sports reporter Randy Silver does a good job breaking down what is currently known in this video.
It’s unclear what happens next, as Ferrari awaits possible extradition to Texas to face these charges. It’s also unclear if Ferrari can be released on bond due to the nature of the offense.
