Terence Crawford convicted of negligent driving, ordered to pay $75 fine.

OMAHA, Neb. — Terence Crawford was convicted of negligent driving on Monday and instructed to pay a $75 penalty resulting from a traffic stop last year, during which law enforcement compelled the world champion boxer and his passengers to exit the vehicle at gunpoint.

Crawford was pulled over on September 28, just hours after his hometown of Omaha celebrated his unanimous decision win over Canelo Alvarez in a super middleweight title bout with a parade through downtown. This victory made Crawford the first male boxer to secure three unified division titles. He declared his retirement in December, finishing with a record of 42-0 and 31 knockouts.

Officers initiated the stop after witnessing a vehicle being driven erratically. During the encounter, Crawford’s head of security informed an officer at the front passenger window that he was in possession of a legal firearm. Moments later, an officer on the driver’s side noticed a gun on the floor. With weapons drawn, the officers instructed everyone to exit the vehicle.

Crawford stated that he had leaned over to inform the officer on the passenger side that he too possessed a legal firearm, but the officer at the driver’s side window did not hear him. Police confirmed that all individuals in the vehicle were legally authorized to carry firearms. Crawford received a citation and was released.

The incident prompted the Omaha police chief to initiate an internal review of the officers’ conduct. The chief reported that the officers acted within the law.

Along with the fine, Crawford was also required to pay $49 in court fees.
