Wrestling Star Arrested After 120-MPH Chase

AJ Ferrari, a former national champion and All-American wrestler, was arrested on June 27, 2026, in North Platte. The arrest followed a high-speed pursuit down Highway 83 where Ferrari was clocked traveling over 120 MPH. According to reports, he crashed his Corvette into a ditch and fled the scene on foot. The official charges include "flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, and obstructing the police."

This marks Ferrari's third arrest during his college career. He previously left Oklahoma State amid a sexual assault case and later parted ways with the Iowa Hawkeyes after an altercation with a teammate. After competing for Cal-Bakersfield and the University of Nebraska, Ferrari's college eligibility appears to be exhausted, potentially pushing him towards an MMA career.
