More On The Jeff Hardy Drug Trial Verdict, What Led To His Arrest And More
As we previously reported, Jeff Hardy pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and one count of conspiracy to traffic in a substance containing opium.
Fayobserver.com is reporting the details that led to the arrest of Hardy back in 2009 just days after he finished his contractual obligations with the WWE. The raid on Hardy's house came after employees at the local Fayetteville FedEx distribution center contacted police about a suspicious package.
The package was sent to Hardy by a person labeled as "a fan in Florida," and contained a coffee can that was filled with 262 prescription hydrocodone painkillers. The story states that police resealed the package and had it delivered to Hardy's home, and the police raided the home when he accepted the package and found other drugs.
The report also notes that Jeff Hardy will indeed be required to go into a drug treatment facility.
the Southern Pines Pilot newspaper is reporting that Hardy's 10 days in jail will be arraged for a future date with Hardy's probation officer. Hardy was sentenced to ten days in jail and avoided an extended prison sentence as part of the agreement. Many assumed he would simply do the jail time immediately upon sentencing. One of the terms of the plea agreement pushed by Hardy's attorney was for Hardy to be permitted to travel out of the state in order to continue his work with TNA. Hardy has promised to the pilot newspaper an interview at a later date.
