Terence Crawford, the world champion boxer, was fined $75 for careless driving following a traffic stop on September 28 in Omaha, Nebraska. The stop occurred just hours after a parade celebrating his victory over Canelo Álvarez in a super middleweight championship fight. During the stop, police drew their weapons on Crawford and his passengers after discovering firearms in the vehicle. Crawford later stated he attempted to inform the officer about his own legal firearm but was not heard. An internal investigation by the Omaha police chief determined that the officers acted lawfully during the incident. In addition to the fine, Crawford was also ordered to pay $49 in court costs. This incident comes as Crawford recently announced his retirement with an impressive record of 42 wins and 31 knockouts.
