Terence Crawford Fined $75 After Careless Driving Verdict in Omaha
The ruling follows a gunpoint stop where the police chief later said the officers acted lawfully.
Overview
- Terence Crawford was found guilty of careless driving on Monday and must pay a $75 fine plus $49 in court costs.
- The case stems from a Sept. 28 stop in downtown Omaha after officers said they saw him driving recklessly.
- An officer spotted a gun on the floorboard during the stop, and police ordered everyone out at gunpoint before confirming all could legally carry.
- Police reported no radar reading yet estimated his speed at about twice the limit, and prosecutors reduced the original reckless driving count to careless driving.
- The police chief’s internal review later concluded the officers acted lawfully, while Crawford says he tried to tell an officer he also had a legal firearm.
