OMAHA, Neb. ( WOWT /Gray News) - Champion boxer Terence “Bud” Crawford was ordered out of his car at gunpoint during a traffic stop in his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. His head of security says the incident was “a nightmare,” and the officers’ response was unnecessary.

Omaha Police say a car driven by Crawford was stopped around 1:30 a.m. Sunday for reckless driving. An officer saw a firearm in the car while speaking with Crawford, so he and the other three people inside were ordered, at gunpoint, to get out, according to police. They were put in handcuffs.
