Nebraska volleyball’s Harper Murray cited in ring theft at Lincoln Scheels

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Nebraska volleyball’s Harper Murray was cited Thursday in a shoplifting at Scheels earlier this month.

On May 3 around 12:45 p.m., officers were sent to Scheels near 27th Street and Pine Lake Road on a report of a shoplift.

Security video from the night before shows Murray hiding five gold rings, valued at $64.95, in her pockets and leaving the store, according to the Lincoln Police Department.

Police said Murray was seen removing the items from her pockets while in her vehicle.

Murray was cited on suspicion of theft by shoplifting, a misdemeanor.

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.
