Footage Of Terence Crawford Gunpoint Police Stop Circulates As Omaha Mayor Responds

Undisputed super middleweight champion Terence Crawford was the recipient of a victory parade in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska, on September 28, which was the result of his upset victory over Canelo Alvarez earlier this month.

The parade itself was a wonderful affair, and Crawford received his well-deserved flowers from his peers, his coaching staff, and many other members of the boxing community. When Crawford was addressing the media at one point on Saturday, he made it clear that he intended to go out and party that night to revel in his massive victory.

However, it now seems that Crawford's Saturday night went awry, and had to a tense exchange with police.

On Sunday morning, a video posted by Facebook user Dre Jimmy started making waves, as it allegedly showed Crawford at the wheel of a car having a tense exchange with a police officer. The officer can be seen holding a gun and pointing it at Crawford, and beckoning the champion to get out of the car.

Crawford yelled, "I'm not reaching for no gun, bro!" before stepping out of the car.

The video has now began to go viral on social media.

"I learned Omaha police pulled over Terence 'Bud' Crawford on a traffic stop downtown early this morning. After learning of this, I spoke personally to Bud Crawford. I acknowledge the seriousness of what occurred and how trust between law enforcement and our community is important and shows the need to be continuously vigilant about building relationships.

"Omaha Police Chief Todd Schmaderer has pledged an internal investigation, which I support and want to be full and thorough. We will gather all the facts and be transparent with the public about our findings," Ewing continued.

"Understand that my heart dropped in learning of this end to an otherwise wonderful day and evening celebrating our city’s world boxing champion. We held a great parade and great event at Heartland of America park. The evening birthday party at Steelhouse, which I and members of my team attended, was a showing of joy and pride. Omaha needs to remember this important day as a good one while we seek answers to how it ended," he added.

"Meanwhile, we must ensure that every resident, no matter who they are, feels safe and respected in Omaha."
