Overview

• An estimated 65,000 people lined a roughly four‑mile route in Omaha on Sept. 27 as Terence “Bud” Crawford received a Key to the City and a custom commemorative belt.
• The ceremony at Heartland of America Park coincided with Crawford’s 38th birthday and featured appearances by Shakur Stevenson, Claressa Shields, local officials, and family.
• Hours after the festivities, video circulating online showed Omaha police ordering Crawford and others from a vehicle at gunpoint and placing him in handcuffs.
• Police said the stop occurred around 1:30 a.m. in downtown Omaha after reports of reckless driving and that an officer saw a firearm on the driver’s side floorboard; the department is reviewing officers’ actions.
• Mayor John W. Ewing Jr. said he spoke with Crawford and supported Police Chief Todd Schmaderer’s pledge of a full internal investigation, with officials promising transparency as the review proceeds.
