Crawford spoke at his parade about the importance of coming back to Omaha.
“I’m happy for the support that Omaha has been giving me over the years I would say I am blessed it’s been a roller coaster but we made to top no matter how we made it.”
“It was very important for me to stay in Omaha to give young individuals hope.”
“I want to have them believing in themselves and knowing that you know they can come from anywhere.”
Hours after his parade, a video surfaced showing Crawford being held at gunpoint and put in handcuffs during a traffic stop.
