Crawford Turns Himself In On Body Shop Incident Charges


by David P. Greisman

Junior welterweight titleholder Terence Crawford was formally arrested Friday morning after turning himself in to police, who had been investigating an alleged incident involving Crawford at a local body shop, according to the Omaha World-Herald.



Crawford is facing four misdemeanor counts: theft of services, criminal mischief, third-degree assault and trespassing, according to the newspaper. He is free and due back in court in May.

The allegations date back to last week, when Crawford was part of a group that arrived at the body shop to retrieve his vehicle. The body shop owner, however, says that Crawford still owed money for the service. Crawford’s lawyer says that there was a disagreement between the fighter and owner about the paintwork that had been done and how much he was being charged.

Crawford allegedly went into the shop and brought his vehicle off a hydraulic lift, but in the process damaged the shop’s machine, according to the article.

The 28-year-old is 28-0 with 20 KOs. He held a world title at lightweight in 2014 before moving up to 140 pounds last year and capturing a belt there. He’s made two defenses since, including a February technical knockout of Henry Lundy, and is expected to have a unification bout with fellow titleholder Viktor Postol on July 23 in Las Vegas on pay-per-view.

Adrien Broner isn’t the only well-known boxer to allegedly run afoul of the law of late.

WBO junior welterweight titleholder Terence Crawford turned himself in to the Omaha, Nebraska police department on Friday amid allegations he repeatedly pushed an auto shop owner and caused $5,000 worth of damages to a hydraulic lift, according to an Omaha Police Department incident report.

Crawford, 28, entered Omaha Police Central Headquarters at 6:38 a.m. on Friday and was arrested, interviewed and given a criminal citation, Lt. Darci Tierney of the Omaha police told RingTV.com.

Crawford (28-0, 20 knockouts) was then released on the following charges: Theft of services, criminal mischief, assault in the third degree and trespassing, all misdemeanors, according to a press release on the police department website. He has a court date sometime in May.

Crawford’s attorney Jason Caskey told the Omaha World-Herald earlier in the week the disagreement was a civil matter “regarding the quality and price of the paint job performed on Crawford’s 1984 Chevy Monte Carlo.” Caskey declined comment on Friday to RingTV.com when reached at his office.

On April 14, officers were called to investigate a disturbance at Extreme Custom Fleet and Auto Spa in northern Omaha. The owner of the business, Michael Nelson, told police that Crawford demanded his car back, even though Crawford still owed $1,350 for a paint job that wasn’t completed, according to the incident report, obtained by RingTV.com. Crawford had tried to get his car back on a prior occasion but was told by police that he could not retrieve the car until he paid off the full balance, the report said.

Nelson told police that Crawford entered his shop and walked into an employee-only area where Crawford’s car was up on a lift. Nelson told police that Crawford and three of his friends “physically moved motors and other vehicle parts out of the way of Crawford’s 1984 Chevy Monte Carlo” while it was on the lift, the report said.

At that point, Crawford started “hitting buttons and pulling levers on the hydraulic lift” to lower the car, the report said. When Nelson tried to intervene and “get close to Crawford’s vehicle,” Nelson said Crawford “kept pushing” him. He claims the boxer told him “when you have money you can do what you want,” according to the report.

Nelson told police that he kept trying to approach Crawford’s vehicle and “just kept getting pushed around by Crawford,” according to the report. “Nelson stated that Crawford just kept repeating that he can do what he wants because he has money,” the report said. Once Crawford got his car off the lift, he pushed it through the parking lot and onto the street, the report said. “That is when Crawford and the other unknown parties tied a rope to it and drug it up 56th st and turned left dragging it down” the street, the report said.

As for the hydraulic lift, it had “become so hot that it melted the hydraulic reservoir causing the reservoir to drop to the ground spilling hydraulic fluid everywhere and causing the pump to overheat,” the report said. Nelson had to cut the circuit breaker to the building to prevent further damage or a fire starting, the report said.

Meanwhile, Top Rank, Crawford’s promoter, is finalizing a deal for Crawford to meet WBC titleholder Viktor Postol (28-0, 12 KOs) on July 23 in a junior welterweight unification match at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on HBO PPV. A Top Rank spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the alleged incident on Friday.
