Omaha Police Stop Terence Crawford After Parade

Hours after a victory parade in Omaha celebrating his unanimous-decision win over Canelo Álvarez, boxing champion Terence "Bud" Crawford was stopped by Omaha police early Sunday and cited for reckless driving. Officers say they observed the vehicle driving recklessly near North 12th and Capitol Avenue just before 1:30 a.m., conducted the stop on Cass Street and, while speaking with the driver, saw a handgun on the driver’s-side floorboard. Police say all four occupants are legally permitted to carry firearms and that one passenger — a member of Crawford’s security team — was also carrying a legal weapon; a police supervisor and lieutenant later responded at Crawford’s request. A cellphone video of the stop is circulating on social media, prompting Police Chief Todd Schmaderer to order an internal affairs review, a move Mayor John Ewing said he supports and called for full transparency. Crawford, a hometown hero who runs a nonprofit boxing academy and was celebrated by thousands at the parade, declined to comment through a spokesperson as city leaders and residents seek answers about the encounter.
