AJ Ferrari in trouble again...

Psalm 1, I was hoping you would post your POV on this issue. When I saw the first post on the incident, it looked like the ND coach had pulled a Woody Hayes and gotten himself in some serious legal trouble. Subsequent posts on the incident seem to indicate that Fleeger may have blown the whole thing out of proportion. His complaint may come back to bite him later.
Bond set at 25k (10%), next hearing is Feb. 17, and he is fighting extradition.
Do not mess with "the peace and dignity of the State of Nebraska".
"In my defense your honor...The song "Jesus, Take the Wheel" was blaring on the radio. So..... I let him. As a bonus.....I threw in the gas pedal. ...
I have to say, I have always liked the phrase "fugitive from justice".
At some point, I may have to put my creative juices to work, find some outlaw country or bluegrass song with the phrase "county line" in it (no, not Glenn Campbell), and come up with an AJ verse or two.
I think I'm going to need something a little rowdier than that.
Not really what I'm looking for but reworking Lyle Lovett's LA County might have been fun. it is after all about a guy who crosses state lines to murder the woman who dumped him.

A.J. Ferrari, cocky mat-slammer supreme,
Blasted through Nebraska, chasing tail in a dream.
Cop clocks his wild ride,
Texas warrant: “You’ve lied!”
Evading arrest? Now his ***’s in a steam.
I m
ay look into Comal County Line, which has the phrase "Mr. Friday Night", which might be adaptable to "Mr. Fast Twitch".
Manning's excuses reek of pathetic desperation.
"18 to 23 make mistakes"? Albert is 25 with already extensive history. Way to be in touch with reality though.
*edited correct age.

It is quite obvious that unless the Nebraska Administration does something regarding AJ's Law-Breaking, that the coach won't be doing a thing besides tie yellow ribbons around the oak tree, sell "Free the Twitch" shirts and plan a welcome home party. "Accountability? We don't need no stinking accountability"
Once, just once, in situations like this, I'd love for a coach to just get up and flat out slander the athlete and his parents, along the lines of:
"Look guys, this is obviously the worst part about the job of a coach -- let alone the job of simply being adult. I mean, let's face it, I don't have a masters in social work. Honestly, the worst thing on earth is some boneheaded clown who thinks ... strike that ... who doesn't think at all, and is incapable of learning at all. Because he simply doesn't have brain cell one inside that soft melon that sitting on top of his shoulders, and whose parents were such greedy, ambitious climbers that they never taught the kid an ounce of respect, so that now that he's grown into an adult, not only hasn't he assumed the role of an adult, he's an actual sociopath. So just cut me some slack fellas - we're all on the same page. This guy's just a freaking idiot tool, who's generally worth 3-6 points a night, and that's all the university asks of me. The sooner the SEC starts implementing wrestling programs, the better off we'll all be."

Manning rumored to be consulting Cornell Law on how to best expedite a felony to a misdemeanor.
Springsteen's 'Highway Patrolman' is just sitting there on his 'Nebraska' Album for you.
He's not lying. AJ made plenty of mistakes when he was 18-23, too.
Psalm 1 guy - just curious, have you ever been involved in something similar to AJ's situation? My knowledge of criminal law is about zilch, but it sounds pretty serious when a guy is extradited across a state line for evading arrest in the other state. Is there a chance that the DA in TX will push for a serious penalty?
It’s a teachable moment? Ok. I’ll bite.
When does the learning begin? Before or after the sexual assault? How important is learning to drive safely after a 100mph accident from the passing lane with on coming cars occupying it? Does it take three more speeding occurrences or, Mark, do you just wait until someone is actually dead. I mean dead people would be something you’ve never heard of before, particularly if you don’t know anyone from the University of Georgia.
meanwhile, contacting a ref and double birding the audience may be the most mature thing he’s done.
… AJ handcuffed to the bumper of a State Trooper’s Ford. Great visual.
I can't believe Nebraska is going to let him wrestle again!
He should have been put in jail after his sexual assault on the young woman!!
Somebody has to have the ba!!s to stop this a$$hole.!
Did Manning mean Ferrari's age or the number of Ferrari's mistakes?
Not knowing the details of the original "evading" incident, it is very hard to tell. Was AJ blowing through multiple red lights at potentially lethal speeds while being pursued by an officer with their lights and siren activated? Maybe the incident was minor, but met the threshold to charge as a felony? If this were a case out of San Francisco, Manhattan, or Washington, D.C., I wouldn't be overly worried if I were A.J. Considering this warrant was issued in Texas, I would be sweating it a little more if I were A.J. Time will tell. The fact A.J. is 25 and still behaving this way says a lot, no matter how things shake out legally. One final note, his car insurance premiums must be through the roof by this point, if he has insurance at all!

If he was driving without at least bodily injury- and property damage liability coverage, I suspect he was breaking the law in most states whether or not an accident was involved.
I HATE the "nobody's perfect" excuse that inevitably comes out every time a repeat offender gets arrested again.
I actually played that (drums) at a firm battle of the bands some years ago, so a sentimental favorite.
It looks like evading in a motor vehicle in Texas is a Felony. MY experience (not in Texas) is this will be treated as not that big of a deal. Fugitive From Justice warrants sound really bad but honestly just mean you have a warrant in another state and that is the charge to hold you on. The one thing that would be of concern is often times these warrants only do extradition from surrounding states due to cost but if willing to extradite from Nebraska it is of significance. AJ is not known well enough to the average citizen for that to be the cause of increased extradition area.
I saw something this morning that said AJ ran a red light and a local police officer turned on his lights but didn't chase after him. Ferrari is claiming he didn't see the flashing lights so he just kept driving. He also claims he wasn't aware that there was an outstanding warrant for his arrest. If this version is true, I'm guessing it won't become anything serious. However, with Ferrari, I wouldn't rule anything out at this point.
Didn't see flashing cop lights in such proximity to him as to turn them on for him and (somehow, i guess) get his license plate number? Well ok then.
I mean honestly, I was at least expecting a "my friend was driving the car at the time".
The other issue that I have with it is that I read somewhere that he's fighting the extradition. Are you kidding me? He claims that he simply ran a red light, didn't see the officer engage his lights and now he's fighting extradition (assuming what I heard is true)? The only appropriate response would be for him to arrange to turn himself in to authorities, to request a hearing or make settlement and then to show some real remorse or at least to apologize. I don't know how ANYONE could allow this buffoon to continue to wrestle until and unless he did the minimum required to settle this most recent case against him.
You’re spending too much time analyzing this. He might just be a dick, and his coach likes his type.
Automatic license plate readers were likely used to identify the car after he pulled away and without any pursuit.
Allen, TX has widely expanded their use at major intersections since they were first installed in 2013.
