Omaha, Nebraska \u2013 Newly crowned super middleweight boxing champion Terence “Bud” Crawford, a native of Omaha, was cited for reckless driving early Sunday morning, just hours after a parade in his honor that drew thousands downtown.<\/p>\n
The Mayor of Omaha, John Ewing, and Police Chief Todd Schmaderer, issued a statement on Sunday reporting that a review of the traffic stop has been ordered and that Schmaderer has authorized an internal affairs investigation.<\/p>\n
In the statement, it is mentioned that the authorities are aware of a video circulating on social media related to Crawford’s arrest. A spokesperson for the Omaha police indicated that the video comes from a cell phone of someone inside Crawford’s vehicle and that the Omaha police have not released any video.<\/p>\n
According to the statement, police stopped a vehicle that they said was driving recklessly shortly before 1:30 a.m. While speaking with the driver, an officer observed a firearm on the driver’s side floor. The four people in the car were ordered out of the vehicle at gunpoint.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, the driver was identified as Crawford, who was cited for reckless driving. A passenger, a member of Crawford’s security team, was also found to be legally carrying a firearm. Police indicated that all occupants have legal permits to carry firearms.<\/p>\n
The statement also notes that a supervisor and a police lieutenant responded to the scene at Crawford’s request.<\/p>\n
Crawford, who turned 38 on Sunday, could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
The people of Nebraska have been celebrating Crawford for the past two weeks following his unanimous decision victory over Canelo \u00c1lvarez. With this victory, Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs) became the first male boxer in the four-belt era to be undisputed champion in three weight classes.<\/p>\n
Last Saturday, he led the Nebraska football team in their “tunnel walk”, wearing a “168” jersey that represented his undisputed crown in the 168-pound weight category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
