Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart was arrested Sunday morning in a gas station parking lot in Thonotosassa, Florida.
It is being reported that he was being loud and obnoxious in a gas station parking lot while trying to pump gas and open a pill bottle at the same time. Police were called, and twenty-eight methodone tablets and ninety-five oxycotin pills were found on his body when they patted him down. Several of the pill bottles had been previously reported as stolen by neighbors of Neidhart’s.
Neidhart was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, one count of burglary of an occupied dwelling and one count of grand theft. He is being held without bond until his first appearance before a judge, which will be on Tuesday, September 7, after the Labor Day holiday.
Neidhart is a twenty-plus year veteran in the pro wrestling industry, originally trained by the legendary Stu Hart in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was most famous as the part of The Hart Foundation alongside Bret “Hit Man” Hart through the ‘80s and ‘90s in the World Wrestling Federation where the duo won two WWF World Tag Team Titles. He is also the father of current WWE superstar Natalya Neidhart, manager of WWE’s current Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd & DH Smith).

Sorry to hear this, Jim get into rehab before you wind up on the dead wrestlers list!
I tought it was just a coincidence but it seems anybody that falls on McMahon's Family hands will end up like that, with a very few exceptions most wrestlers will endup being dead, a drug junkie or in jail.
dang
