Former Nebraska Wrestler AJ Ferrari Arrested in Douglas County on Warrant Out of Lancaster County
Investigators tracked Ferrari by surveillance before deputies made a felony traffic stop and booked him into jail, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Douglas County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested former Nebraska wrestler Albert "A.J." Ferrari near Bennington during a traffic stop near 204th Street and Grand Avenue following surveillance by the Special Operations Group.
- The arrest stemmed from an outstanding Lancaster County warrant charging Ferrari with assault by strangulation or suffocation of a pregnant woman, domestic violence assault, and false imprisonment.
- According to police reports, the woman alleged that Ferrari dragged her off the bed by her feet and strangled her, stating she attempted to kick him because she was pregnant.
- This arrest follows a separate incident on June 26, when Nebraska State Patrol troopers arrested Ferrari near North Platte on charges including flight to avoid arrest and willful reckless driving.
- Previously, Lancaster County authorities dismissed a warrant against Ferrari in January of this year, and Ferrari parted ways with the Huskers in April after spending the 2025-2026 season with the team.
