Crawford, 28, and three friends reportedly did $5,000 worth of damage to an auto shop after Crawford came in and demanded his car while refusing to pay for the paint job. Crawford and his friends forcefully took the car off the hydraulic lift and damaged it in the process. The owner was tending to another customer before he heard the noises from within the shop. The car was lowered but the owner alleges that Crawford pushing him as they tried to leave.
