Crawford recently beat Canelo Alvarez via unanimous decision to become the new undisputed super middleweight champion. Crawford's hometown of Omaha held a parade through its downtown to honor his achievement during the day, and there was a party to celebrate his 38th birthday at a live music venue near where the police incident happened.

Crawford was stopped for alleged reckless driving, which quickly escalated after the cops spotted a gun on the driver's side floorboard. After the gun was confirmed to have been a licensed weapon, the boxing icon was ticketed for reckless driving.
