The Demise of AJ Ferrari Continues with Multiple Charges in Nebraska

STILLWATER – You wonder why former Oklahoma State head coach and wrestling legend John Smith wanted no part of AJ Ferrari even as he won an individual NCAA Championship at Oklahoma State? Then wonder why neither Smith nor current Oklahoma State head coach David Taylor wanted nothing to do with Ferrari or any other wrestling member of the family? The answers have been clear over and over again. Now, the demise of AJ Ferrari continues in Lincoln County, Nebraska. 

The former Nebraska, Cal-State Bakersfield, and OSU wrestler was booked on multiple charges Saturday after the Nebraska State Patrol saw Ferrari driving a Chevrolet Corvette on I-80 near North Platte, Neb. Friday night around 9:30 pm. 

It gets much worse or better depending on how weird you like your stories about AJ Ferrari. The trooper attempted to stop Ferrari as the Corvette exited the Interstate and began traveling north toward Highway 30. He was still going at a high rate of speed, according to state patrol, Ferrari's vehicle was clocked at 110 mph in a 55 mph zone.

After the chase covered several miles, Ferrari stopped the vehicle and fled on foot. The NSP officer found identification inside the vehicle that confirmed it was driven by Ferrari. The total pursuit covered 11 minutes before Ferrari was caught and taken into custody.
