140-pound champ Terence Crawford sentenced to 90 days in jail over disturbance
The super lightweight champion will be jailed following a disturbance at an Omaha body shop
Less than a week after his dominant eighth-round TKO win over John Molina Jr. to retain his WBC and WBO belts, super lightweight champion Terence Crawford received a 90-day jail sentence and two years probation for disorderly conduct and damage to property at an Omaha body shop back in April.
Crawford's attorney, Matthew Kahler, plans on appealing the sentence, noting that it's a severe punishment for two misdemeanors.
"This is his first and only adult conviction of any significance, and for crimes of disorderly conduct and property damage it's an abnormally high sentence,'' Kahler said, according to the Associated Press. "It's the most significant sentence I've seen from that judge for those charges.''
The sentence stems from an incident where Crawford was having his car painted and was unhappy with how long the job was taking. After being told he could not get the car back until he paid the remaining balance owed for the job, Crawford and the people with him lowered the car off of the lift and hauled the car away with a rope, doing damage to the lift by leaving it on and melting the pump.
