More Details on Matt Hardy's Drug Bust; His Girlfriend Turrned Him In
As previous reported, a week after he was arrested for DUI, Matt Hardy was thrown back in the slammer (his third time in jail in a month) and the search warrant makes it clear... Matt has a major drug problem.
According to search warrant docs obtained by TMZ, it all started with a 911 call last Wednesday -- placed by Matt's model girlfriend, Reby Sky, who was worried Matt "was strung out on pills and needed help." Police came and Matt's GF led them to a secret safe containing several prescription painkillers. Police then obtained a search warrant and according to cops, when they raided his house they found 20 vials of anabolic steroids and some ecstasy.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Matt wasn't home at the time of the search so they couldn't arrest him on the spot ... he turned himself in yesterday and bailed out soon after his arrest.
Matt Hardy Arrested on Drug Charges Following Search of his Home
Former WWE and TNA star Matt Hardy was arrested on 9/14 following a search warrant being executed on his home in Cameron, North Carolina, according to a statement issued by the Moore County Sheriff's office.
During the search, Deputies seized 20 vials of Anabolic Steroids, 1 "dosage unit of MDMA" (aka Ecstasy), $1,961.00 (which given the amount of money Hardy has made in his career, isn't surprising) as well as unnamed drug paraphernalia.
Hardy has been charged with possession with intent to sell/deliver schedule III controlled substance (the steroids), possession of schedule I controlled substance (the Ecstasy), maintaining a place to keep controlled substance, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hardy is scheduled for a court appearance in this case on 9/29. He was released upon signing a statement that he would appear in court.
Yesterday, Hardy posted a Youtube video announcing he would be undergoing a three month rehabilitation program sponsored by WWE, which provides such services to formerly contracted talent.
Hardy has court dates scheduled for 9/28 in Moore County (the Driving While Impaired charge that led to his TNA dismissal), 9/29 in Moore County in regard to these new drug charges, a 10/11 court date in Wake County, NC (reckless driving charges), and 11/30 also in Wake County, NC for the Driving Under the Influence charge after being pulled over and arrested at the Raleigh airport.
