Update on Jeff Hardy's Drug Case
The drug case against Jeff Hardy, the professional wrestling star from Cameron, was continued again today in Moore County Superior Court. Assistant District Attorney Warren McSweeney, who is in charge of the case, said he planned to ask Judge James Webb to continue to the case.
Prosecutors are still awaiting the results of lab tests from the State Bureau of Investigation on some of the evidence that lawmen seized Sept. 11, 2009, when they raided Hardy's house on Boys Camp Road outside of Cameron, McSweeney said.
Hardy's lawyer, James Van Camp, has said the 33-year-old plans to plead guilty. Prosecutors have said they were continuing to work out the terms of a plea deal.
Sheriff's deputies found about 260 Vicodin prescription painkillers, 180 Soma prescription muscle relaxants, 55 milliliters of anabolic steroids, powder cocaine residue and drug paraphernalia when they searched Hardy's home.
Steven Godfrey, a spokesman for Hardy's wrestling company - Total Nonstop Action Wrestling - has declined to comment on how the company is dealing with its star's legal trouble. He said TNA has a drug testing policy, though officials don't release details.

I'm sorry, I was on a roll and made a mistake. Nothing but love and total respect for Japan, but you guys already know that. I totally apologize."
