Crawford was ordered to pay a $75 fine along with $49 in court costs.
Crawford was pulled over in the early hours of Sept. 28 for alleged reckless driving, a misdemeanor. The stop came hours after Omaha held a parade in his honor, celebrating his victory against Canelo Alvarez.
The lone witness at Crawford’s trial, Omaha Police officer Mason Gregurich, said he estimated Crawford’s vehicle was traveling 50 mph, twice the posted speed limit in the area. There was no radar measurement taken. The officer also testified that the vehicle was “centered over the line.”
When the officer saw a gun on the floor of the car, he ordered Crawford and his passengers to step out of the car. The gun was found to be a legal firearm belonging to Crawford’s security guard.
Prosecutors reduced Crawford’s charge from reckless driving to careless driving. Crawford’s defense attorney admitted Monday that his client was speeding, but argued — unsuccessfully — that there was not “proof of endangerment” for people or property in the area.
Crawford, 38, retired in December with a 42-0 record all-time with an impressive 31 wins via knockout. He won 18 major world championships across five weight classes in a professional career that began in 2008.
