OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Police in Omaha, Nebraska, have ticketed WBO junior welterweight champion Terence ''Bud'' Crawford on four misdemeanor charges in connection with a disturbance at a body shop last week.

Crawford went to police shortly after 6:30 a.m. Friday. He was cited on charges of theft of services, criminal mischief, third-degree assault and trespassing.

According to police, shop owner Michael Nelson alleges Crawford showed up April 14 and demanded his vehicle, Nelson said he told Crawford he couldn't get the car until he paid his $1,350 bill for a paint job. Nelson told police Crawford damaged a hydraulic lift, shoved him and took the car without paying.

Crawford attorney Steve Lefler said Nelson's account is not accurate.
