OMAHA, Neb. (AP) WBO super lightweight champion Terence ''Bud'' Crawford is accused of causing $5,000 in damage to a hydraulic lift during a dispute with a body shop owner in Omaha, Nebraska.

According to a police report, Crawford showed up at the shop Thursday and demanded his 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, which had been in the shop to be painted. Owner Michael Nelson told Crawford he still owed $1,350.

Police say Crawford then lowered the car on the lift. He and three people who accompanied him tied a rope to the car and took it away.

Police said the lift was stuck in the `on' position and was so hot it melted the hydraulic reservoir and burned out the pump.
