Terence Crawford fined $75 for careless driving after stop where police ordered him out at gunpoint

Terence Crawford was found guilty of careless driving Monday and ordered to pay a $75 fine stemming from a traffic stop last year during which police ordered the world champion boxer and passengers out of his vehicle at gunpoint. Crawford was stopped Sept. 28, hours after his hometown of Omaha held a parade through downtown to celebrate his unanimous decision victory over Canelo Alvarez in a super middleweight championship fight. The win made Crawford the first male boxer to capture three unified division titles.

Terence Crawford, the undefeated boxing legend, has been found guilty of careless driving in an Omaha court, resulting in a $75 fine. The charge stems from a dramatic traffic stop last September that saw police order the champion and his passengers out of his vehicle at gunpoint.

The incident occurred just hours after a triumphant homecoming parade in Omaha, celebrating Crawford's historic unanimous decision victory over Canelo Alvarez. That win cemented his legacy as the first male boxer to capture three unified division titles, a crowning achievement for the fighter who retired in December with a perfect 42-0 record.

According to reports, officers initiated the stop after observing reckless driving. The situation escalated when Crawford's security head informed an officer of a legally carried firearm, and a second officer immediately spotted another gun on the vehicle's floorboard. This prompted officers to draw their weapons and issue commands to exit the car.

Crawford explained he was attempting to declare his own legal firearm when the confusion arose. Police later confirmed all occupants were legally permitted to carry weapons. Following the stop, which prompted an internal investigation that cleared the officers of wrongdoing, Crawford was ticketed and released.

In addition to the $75 fine for careless driving, the former champion was ordered to pay $49 in court costs, closing a bizarre chapter that followed one of the greatest nights of his professional career.
