WWE Star Jeff Hardy Arrested for DWI
WWE star Jeff Hardy was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of driving while impaired in North Carolina, TMZ Sports reported.
TMZ obtained the police report from the arrest, noting Hardy crashed his car and blew a .25 on a Breathalyzer test, which is more than three times the legal limit.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com first reported the arrest, noting Hardy will have to appear in Cabarrus County court in April.
"Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions," WWE said in a statement to TMZ. "We are investigating the matter and awaiting information from local law enforcement officials."
The 40-year-old wrestler has been out of action since picking up an injury in September.
Hardy, who has been in and out of WWE since the 1990s, underwent surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in October. According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, he has been cleared by his surgeon but is just waiting on clearance from WWE doctors to return.
However, he is yet to get back in the ring as he tries to get healthy for WrestleMania.
Meanwhile, the weekend's arrest is another negative mark on his career outside of wrestling. Hardy was also arrested in 2009 for drug possession, eventually serving a 10-day jail sentence.
