According to the Fayetteville Observer, Jeff Hardy’s probable cause hearing stemming from his September 11 arrest has been rescheduled for December 2.

Hardy did not attend the November 4 scheduled hearing and was represented by his lawyer. According to his lawyer, Jim Van Camp, Hardy was planning on attending but they did not receive proper reports back from the lab in time.

The charges still facing Hardy include:
- 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)

If at this next hearing the judge finds probable cause that Hardy committed these crimes, then the case will proceed to a grand jury. A grand jury would review evidence of the case and decide on indictment of charges. If Hardy were to be indicted, the case would then move up to a superior court, where he would be tried on the charges.
