Boxing champion Terence Crawford was pulled over and held at gunpoint by Omaha police early Sunday morning, just hours after his hometown celebrated his historic victory with a parade. The incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. on September 28, which marked Crawford’s 38th birthday.
The Traffic Stop Incident
Omaha police stopped Crawford’s vehicle near North 12th and Capitol Avenue for what they described as reckless driving. During the interaction, an officer observed a firearm on the driver’s side floorboard, prompting police to order all four occupants out of the vehicle at gunpoint.
Video footage circulating on social media captured Crawford slowly unbuckling his seatbelt, raising his hands, and complying with police commands while stating, “I’m not reaching for no gun”.
