Matt Hardy Arrested After Being Kicked Out of Rehab and Violating Court Order

Former WWE/TNA wrestler Matt Hardy was reportedly kicked out of rehab Friday after failing a breathalyzer test. If the legal process takes over from here, Hardy could be faced with jail time.

TMZ reports staff at the rehab facility Hardy was attending became suspicious of Hardy's behavior Friday and ordered a breathalyzer test on the spot. Hardy failed, but Hardy was "adamant he wasn't drinking." According to the report, Hardy claimed he failed because he had "just used mouthwash."

The rehab staff apparently did not buy Hardy's argument and ordered him to leave the facility. In the process of undergoing a three-month program, Hardy was one month shy of completing rehab.

In September, Hardy presented the decision to attend rehab as a personal decision, but a North Carolina court ordered Hardy to rehab following multiple summer arrests or he would be faced with jail time.

“That (rehab) is only part of the release order,” said Moore County District Attorney Maureen Krueger in September. “It also states that he must comply with a treatment program or be placed in the detention center under a $1 million bond.”

Now, the legal process will apparently take over. According to the terms of his court-ordered rehab, Hardy was to attend rehab, then face one charge stemming from his third summer arrest for drug possession. He made a formal agreement to appear in court since his release was tied to him entering rehab.

Hardy was arrested for a third time in September after a search of his home on Sept. 14 yielded steroids, ecstasy, prescription drugs, and cash. Hardy was charged with possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver, possessing a controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for use of drugs, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.
