JEFF HARDY CHARGES GOING FORWARD, HARDY INDICTED

Jeff Hardy's drug arrest went to the grand jury yesterday in Moore County of North Carolina. The grand jury found that there was enough evidence in indict Hardy and the case has been sent to Superior Court, according to a spokesperson with the Moore County Court in NC.

Hardy's case will be officially set on their docket within the next week.

Hardy was set for a probable cause hearing on 1/27 in regard to his September 2009 drug arrest. That hearing would have determined whether there was enough evidence regarding the arrest to go on the grand jury, but is not a hearing that is absolutely required.  It appears that prosecutors opted to forgo that hearing and go right to the grand jury in order to move the case along.

Hardy was arrested on 9/11/09 on the following charges:

*Felony possession of cocaine.

*Felony drug trafficking of opium

*Felony possession with intent to redistribute a Schedule III drug (two counts).

*Maintaining a dwelling for drug use and/or distribution.

*Possession of drug paraphernalia. (misdemeanor)

Jeff Hardy returned to TNA at last night's Impact special.
