Former OSU, Nebraska wrestler AJ Ferrari arrested after police pursuit in Nebraska

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (KOKH) — Former Oklahoma State and Nebraska Cornhuskers wrestler Albert “AJ” Ferrari was arrested in Nebraska after leading officers on a police pursuit on Friday night.

According to a report from the Nebraska State Patrol, a trooper attempted a traffic stop after noticing a driver speeding on Interstate 80 near North Platte at mile marker 176, later identified as Ferrari.

The NPS trooper followed Ferrari as he exited at mile marker 179 heading northbound on Highway 30.

The trooper clocked Ferrari’s vehicle, a Chevrolet Corvette, traveling over 110 miles per hour in a 55 miles per hour zone.

During an attempted traffic stop, Ferrari refused to stop and fled westbound, leading to a pursuit. After several miles, Ferrari stopped his car and fled on foot.

Officers found identifying information in the vehicle. Ferrari was found the next morning by authorities.

Ferrari was booked into Lincoln County Jail for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, and obstruction.

In 2022, Ferrari left the Oklahoma State Wrestling program following an investigation by the Stillwater Police after a woman accused Ferrari of sexual assault.

Charges against Ferrari were later dismissed by the Payne County District Court.
