Nebraska linebacker Josh Banderas tells police his plan was to sell stolen bikes on Internet

LINCOLN, Neb. – Nebraska linebacker Josh Banderas told campus police he and a member of the men's track team planned to sell the bicycles they stole from racks near university housing units.

Banderas and distance runner Lucas Keifer's scheme is outlined in a probable cause affidavit released Wednesday.

Banderas and Keifer were arrested for felony theft Monday after police received a report of men cutting bike locks and loading bikes into the bed of a pickup.

Officer Aaron Pemberton wrote Banderas "stated they took the bikes because he saw signs posted on the racks that UNL would cut the bikes after a certain date and take them as abandoned property." Banderas said the plan was to sell the seven bikes over the Internet.
