WBC Light Welterweight champ Terence Crawford — who just came off a KO victory on Saturday — was just hit with a 90 day jail sentence in connection with a disturbance at an Omaha body shop.

Crawford was in front of an Omaha judge earlier Thursday on charges of property damage, trespassing, and disorderly conduct … all misdemeanors …. and was convicted on two of the three.

The charges stem from an incident where the owner of Extreme Custom Fleet & Auto says Crawford and some buddies forcefully tried to take Crawford’s car out of the shop without fully paying for work that was done.

The owner of the shop claimed $3,300 of damage was done to a hydraulic lift during the fracas … and claimed he felt intimidated by Crawford’s presence … even though the champ never physically made a threat.

Crawford — widely recognized as one of the top five fighters in the world — had faced up to six months in jail on each count and a $500 fine.

His attorneys have said they plan to appeal the verdict and the sentence.
