World champion boxer Terence Crawford has been fined $75 after being found guilty of careless driving following a traffic stop last September where police drew guns on him and his passengers.
The incident occurred on 28 September, hours after a parade in Omaha celebrated Crawford's victory over Canelo Álvarez. Officers stopped the vehicle for reckless driving. Crawford's head of security informed an officer he was carrying a legal firearm, and another officer spotted a gun on the floorboard, prompting officers to order everyone out at gunpoint.
Crawford explained he had leaned over to tell the officer on the passenger side that he also had a legal firearm, but the driver-side officer did not hear him. Police confirmed all occupants were legally permitted to carry firearms. Crawford was ticketed and released.
The Omaha police chief conducted an internal investigation and found the officers acted lawfully. In addition to the $75 fine, Crawford must pay $49 in court costs.
