ESPN’s Marc Raimondi was able to get more information on Jeff Hardy’s arrest from Florida officials and the news is not good.
Raimondi notes that per the Florida Highway Patrol arrest report, police observed a white car “swerving” and “running off” the roadway on Monday around 12:30 am. An officer made the traffic stop and observed that Hardy seemed to be “in a stupor and confused.”
The report adds that as Hardy left his car, he was unstead and smelled of alcohol and through conversations, the officer learned that Hardy had been drinking. The report adds that Hardy was not able to complete the sobriety exercises successfully and his blood alcohol level read 0.294. The second sample read 0.291. The legal limit to drive in Florida is .08, which means that his reading was over 3-times the legal limit.
As noted in a previous post, it appears that Jeff has been pulled from AEW Dynamite. Jeff and Matt Hardy were scheduled to face The Young Bucks and Tag Team Champions Jurassic Express in a 3-way Ladder Match on Wednesday night.
Once he left his car, Hardy was unsteady and smelled of alcohol, per the report. Officers, through conversation, learned Hardy had been drinking. Hardy could not complete any portion of sobriety exercises successfully “or without risk of falling,” the officer wrote in the report.
