Matt Hardy has been arrested for drug possession.
On September 14, Hardy was charged with drug possession following a search warrant being executed on his home in Cameron, North Carolina. During the search, police seized 20 vials of Anabolic Steroids, 1 "dosage unit of MDMA" (Ecstasy), $1,961.00 as well as unnamed drug paraphernalia.
Hardy has been charged with possession with intent to sell/deliver schedule III controlled substance (the steroids), possession of schedule I controlled substance (the Ecstasy), maintaining a place to keep controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to TMZ, the search warrant was executed after a phone call from Hardy’s girlfriend Rebecca Reyes (better known in wrestling circles as Reby Sky) to 911. Reyes was concerned for Hardy’s well being. When police arrived she led them to a safe containing several painkillers.
Hardy was not home at the time of the search. So while he was technically charged on September 14, he was not fingerprinted, photographed, etc., until last night, September 19. Hence the lag time behind the arrest and the public announcement of the arrest.
He is scheduled to be in court for this offense on September 29.
Incidentally Hardy also posted a video on his personal YouTube channel on September 19 announcing that he was taking WWE up on their offer to enter a drug rehabilitation facility, all on WWE’s dime.
To say this has been a rough few weeks for Matt Hardy would be an understatement. Here is a list of Hardy’s recent troubles in the past few weeks.
