Hardy, who was showing slurred speech and a "a very lackadaisical demeanor", according to the police report, passed a breathalyzer test on the scene. Hardy had no alcohol in his system based on the results, blowing a 0.00.
At that point, North Carolina State Trooper Hans Ellefson, a Drug Recognition Expert, was brought in to examine Hardy.
In speaking to PWInsider.com this afternoon, Trooper Ellefson stated that he "conducted a series of tests on [Hardy] and determined he was impaired and unable to safely operate a vehicle."
Hardy, who had already been placed under arrest for DUI at that point, was given a blood test for further testing. The results of that exam were not available as of this writing.
Trooper Ellefson commented that he had ruled that Hardy was under the control of "Central Nervous System depressants" but until the results of the blood test were returned, could not make an official determination of what those depressants might be.
Hardy has a court date in Wake County, NC on 11/30 in regard to the DUI charge.
Hardy is also slated for a 9/28 court date for the Driving While Impaired charge that led to his TNA dismissal in Moore County, NC and a 10/11 court date in Wake County, NC on charges of reckless driving.
On his Twitter, Hardy apparently referenced the arrest, writing, "For the first time in my life, I've been gotten! WOW!! 0, 0, and 0.. I'm truly appalled. This will not go down without a fight!"
