TMZ.com reported today that the police report for Jeff Hardy's arrest over the weekend in Myrtle Beach, SC stated that authorities found Hardy unconscious in a stairwell smelling of alcohol when he was arrested on Saturday morning. Hardy told officers that he had been drinking vodka.
Hardy was taken into custody near 1600 North Ocean Boulevard, which is the address of Ocean Enclave by Hilton Grand Vacation. Myrtle Beach PD has the arrest listed as taking place at 11:30 AM.
Under South Carolina law, public disorderly conduct is a misdemeanor. Typical protocol is that the $153 Hardy paid to bond himself our doubles as the fine for first time offenders in Myrtle Beach. Hardy won't be required to appear in court if he doesn't wish to contest the charge. The arrest won't hurt his ability to appear in South Carolina and locally, is seen as similar to a parking ticket. Since he's paid the fine, that's likely the end of the situation unless Hardy wishes to argue the charge.
WWE issued the following statement to PWInsider.com in regard to Jeff Hardy's arrest: "Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions."
Hardy has been out of action since suffering a knee injury that required surgery earlier this year.
