Yes, Hardy was arrested...looks like he was caught with MANY drugs and doing some dealing too....see PWI report below:
Professional wrestler Jeff Hardy is in the Moore County jail Friday after being arrested on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of anabolic steroids.
Hardy, 32, of 265 Boys Camp Road,Cameron, was arrested after a search of his residence yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and items of drug paraphernalia, according to a press release.
A joint investigation conducted by officers with the Moore County Sheriff's Office narcotics and select enforcement units and the Fayetteville Police Department led to the arrest.
Vicodin and anabolic steriods are Schedule III substances, while Soma is a non-controlled prescription pill.
Hardy and his brother, Matt, wrestling as the Hardy Boyz, were six-time World Wrestling Entertainment World Tag Team Champion. Individually, Jeff Hardy held the WWE World Champion belt one time and the World Heavyweight Championship twice.
Hardy was charged with felony trafficking in opium, two counts of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, felony maintaining a dwelling to keep controlled substance, felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
His bail was set at $125,000.
This guy just butchered his career.

He just ruined any chance of a WWE return in the future. They will not want a heat score working for them especially with all the drug scrutiny in sports today and media attention.

Stupid shit.

WTF, why would he deal? Didn't he make a shitload of $$$ while working for WWE?

Yes.
Stupid shit.

I have no idea why he would ever decide to have this much stuff in his house? I mean really? Does he just have zero common sense? I think there must be more details behind this story, but there's no way he can say 'its all for personal use'. Some people just seem destined to self-destruct their entire lives.
I hope there's more to this than meets the eye, but I'm not holding my breath.

9/11 & Jeff hardy
September 11, 2009
It’s hard to believe it’s been eight years since the 9/11 tragedy. Eight years since I was woken from my sleep in a Super 8 Motel, in Houston Texas, by a phone call from my Mom. I still remember the majority of that day including the confusion I had while still half asleep trying to decipher what my Mom was telling me. I actually brushed off what she said and hung up on her wanting to go back to sleep. As I laid there digesting what she said I finally woke up and turned on the Motel room TV just in time to watch the plane go into the second tower.
I was stranded in the US away from my family for almost a week following 9/11. I remember vividly the mixed emotion I had when we did the live SmackDown show from Houston two days later. Hurricane and I wrestled Matt and Jeff Hardy that night, and I don’t think any of us really knew at the time if going on with the show was the right call or not. In hind sight I think it was the right call and getting on with life as usual as soon as possible was the right thing to do. The level of friendship and team work we all displayed that night in Houston made for a very special night, and one I will never forget. It’s hard to believe it’s been 8 years.
I don’t like delving into people’s personal lives to much on the site, but I’m getting swamped with email questions already about the Jeff Hardy situation and the breaking news of his arrest for drug trafficking, so I figure I’m going to have to say something.
The first thing I want to say is that people need to remember that being charged with something and being guilty of something, can be two different things. I’ve gotten email from fans that were both crushed and appalled to read that Jeff Hardy was dealing drugs. Let me just say, I don’t believe for a second Jeff Hardy was selling drugs and I’m pretty sure that any trafficking charges are based solely on the quantity of drugs found, not him actually selling them. I believe in the US there are limits on the amount of certain drugs you can have in your possession, and as soon as those limits are reached the charge is trafficking, because they feel you have more of the substance than would normally be considered for personal use.
If that is the case that certainly does not put Jeff free and clear, but I think having your own personal drug problems (no matter how severe) and being a drug trafficker are two completely different things. If the quantities of drugs, reportedly found in Jeff’s possession, are accurate then we have to assume he has a very serious drug problem, and that, even more so than his pending legal woes, is my biggest concern.
When Jeff was suspended from WWE the last time, for a Wellness violation, and then shortly there after lost his house and dog in a fire my heart went out to him. I think a lot of people (myself included) thought and hoped that was a turning point for Jeff and he had gotten his life in order since. Unfortunately that does not appear to be the case.
I’m going to hold off passing judgment on Jeff, on the legal front, until he has his day in court, and on the personal front I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that he finally gets the help he seems to need. I don’t know how many more chances he’s going to get. I am not a sympathetic person when it comes to drug use, and I am not saying all should be forgotten or forgiven. Whatever fall out there is from this, is on him and him alone, but I do wish him well and I hope for the best. Jeff is a great guy who has unfortunately gotten himself in some heavy trouble. It’s ultimately up to him to get himself out, but if he can we should all support him.

Looks like personal use to me. 260 Vikes and 180 Somas is not a lot at all once you build a tolerance.

Will never wrestle for WWE again.......

So much of the pain killers dependency has come about since the "highspot" fests took over as the norm in wrestling. I know that they have always been in use, certainly back into the 80's, but it seems the problem has grown far worse in the last 10-15 years. Rec drugs were a huge problem in the 80's and 90's too, but the reliance on painkillers to just go out and perform has certainly been influenced by the type of matches combined with the work schedule. It's not that wrestlers are working more dates/shows than in the 70's and 80's.....far from it actually, but the types of moves they perform are destroying their bodies. The WWE doesn't care because they will just plug in another indy guy who wants to cash in. Sad really.
As for Hardy. He's an idiot. Even if some of it was for personal use, why keep that much at your residence knowing what the risk is?

The Charlotte Observer is reporting that local law enforcement
raided Jeff Hardy's Cameron home at about 10:30 a.m. on Friday morning after receiving information developed by the Fayetteville Police Department.
The newspaper says Hardy was at home with "his wife" when the raid took place. Presumably, she is his fiancee Beth. She was not arrested.
Chief Deputy Neil Godfrey of the Moore County Sheriff's Office said the case remains under investigation and further charges are possible. He declined to say whether the additional charges could be against Hardy or others.
He added it's too early to determine whether the drugs found in Hardy's home were for personal use or distribution to others.
The article also noted that opium trafficking, which is one of the charges Hardy faces, carries a mandatory prison sentence of three to fourteen years, even for first-time offenders.

Jeff Hardy just killed his career. He faces up to 14 yrs in prison and the government will execute this bust to the fullest letter of the law. How dumb does Jeff really have to be?

Update below:
Jeff Hardy's drug arrest went before the Grand Jury yesterday in Moore County, North Carolina. The Grand Jury found that there was enough evidence to indict Hardy, and the case will now move to superior court. Hardy's case is expected to be set on the docket within the next week.
Hardy was originally set for a probable cause hearing on January 27th for his September 2009 drug charges. The hearing would have determined whether there was enough evidence regarding the arrest to go on the Grand Jury. The hearing is not required, and it appears as if prosecutors have opted to move the case along through the Grand Jury.
Hardy's was arrested for the following charges on 9.11.09:
*Felony possession of cocaine.
*Felony drug trafficking of opium
*Felony possession with intent to redistribute a Schedule III drug (two counts).
*Maintaining a dwelling for drug use and/or distribution.
*Possession of drug paraphernalia. (misdemeanor)
As we all know, Jeff Hardy made his return to pro wrestling last night for TNA.

Hardy is scheduled to return to court on July 6.

Here's more....
A rep from the Moore County Superior Court confirmed today that three of the four charges against Jeff Hardy have been dropped.
At the June 3rdhearing, the following charges from the September 2009 raid of Hardy's home were dropped:
*Felony drug trafficking, Two felony charges of possession of a Schedule III controlled substance or drug.
*Felony possession of cocaine, Felony maintaining a dwelling for redistribution of controlled substances.
*Misdemeanor Possession of drug paraphernalia.
No reason was given for dropping the charges. Only the charge of Conspiracy to Traffic Opium, which is not as serious as the two dropped felonies, remains. This charge was added in January of this year.

If he got off on the much more serious charges, this last one should be in the bag.
Or, he'll be handed some ridiculous "slap on the wrist" sentence like community service or some such shit.

He'll get like 50 hours of community service work. Money talks and BS walks. Knowing Jeff, he'll end up doing something else that's stupid.

Show, if you or I where to do half of what Hardy did, they would lock us up and throw away the key.

Not to turn this into a political discussion, but - no matter how you look at it - Hardy got in trouble for buying drugs with money he earned, and our criminal justice system sought prosecution.
Why can welfare recipients who receive a portion of Jeff’s money for free do the same thing without prosecution?
And I know they don’t adhere to any “wellness policy” to receive Jeff’s money, which he had to pass drug testing to EARN.

Very good point.

I used to see people leave the bank after cashing their SSI checks, and then stand on the sidewalk right outside the bank buying and/or selling drugs.
Used to piss me off.

The justice sytem is a complete joke. I personally think its designed to make money off an unsuspecting public. Traffic tickets are a perfect example of this.

I still have a funny feeling that he'll get maybe one charge and it will be a simple misdemeanor. Community service work.

Of course they'll reduce the charges/sentence.
They fear the wrath of Hulkamania running wild on them.
