Edward “Teddy Hart” Annis, 40, was booked into Tarrant County Jail in Fort Worth, Texas yesterday, a move brought about by Hart being named a fugitive from justice in Texas on 5/4.
As PWInsider.com reported last month, Annis had been sentenced to ten days’ imprisonment in Richmond County Jail for violation of a house arrest he was under due to a previous arrest this past March in Virginia. While Annis resolved his March 4th arrest with that court date, he was incarcerated for the house arrest violation and after being jailed, was again arrested,
It was not clear until today why Annis was slated for a hearing this morning in Richmond regarding a potential extradition to another jurisdiction. However, Annis was transferred from Richmond City Jail and was incarcerated into Tarrant County Jail yesterday instead, so it appears that hearing had been canceled after whatever was preventing him from returning to Texas was resolved.
Court records in Texas list Annis as facing charges of Injuring a child/elderly/disabled person, evading arrest with a vehicle and possession of a controlled substance. However, there are the exact three charges he was arrested for over the course of two separate incidents in December 2016 and January 2017 in Arlington County, so it would appear Annis' arrest is related to a probation or parole violation that led to the warrant being issued for his arrest and return to Texas.
Hart/Annis was released from his MLW contract in December 2019 after several requests to be cut loose from his deal. He last wrestled in early February at an independent event in Florida, where he had been residing prior to his first arrest in Virginia.
