It goes on to say that Crawford “charged towards” an officer who was trying to detain someone that was with the Cowboys lineman. He “pushes in between the officer and the defendant’s party,” preventing the officer “from detaining this individual.”
The charge carries a maximum sentence of 60 days in jail. Crawford has a pre-trial hearing scheduled for June 13.
