Nebraska volleyball's Harper Murray charged in theft at Lincoln Scheels

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska volleyball’s Harper Murray was charged last week in a ring theft at Scheels in May.

According to court documents filed Friday, Murray is facing a misdemeanor theft charge.

Police said Murray stole five gold rings, valued at $64.95, from Scheels near 27th Street and Pine Lake Road on May 3.

Security video captured Murray removing the rings from her pockets while in her vehicle, according to police.

She is appearing in court for the charge on June 26.

The shoplifting happened about a month after Murray was ticketed on suspicion of driving under the influence.

On April 5, Murray was pulled over near Vine Street and Antelope Valley Parkway after she broke multiple traffic laws, police said.

Harper had a blood alcohol content of 0.169%, according to LPD.  The legal limit in Nebraska is 0.08%.

She also had a fake ID and did not follow officers’ commands, according to police.

Murray’s attorney, Brad Roth, appeared in Lancaster County Court on May 8 and asked for her arraignment on the DUI charge to be moved.  The judge scheduled it for June 24.

Roth told Channel 8 that Murray is “going to do all that she can” to make amends.

“She knows she’s made a number of mistakes,” he said. “She wants to move through the process, correct what she can and then face the consequences both here and at the university.”

Murray was suspended for last month’s spring match in Kearney.
