WWE has issued the following statement in relation to Jeff Hardy‘s arrest:
“Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions.”
PWInsider.com is also reporting Hardy’s fine was $153, which is the amount paid for first time offenders in Myrtle Beach. It was noted that he won’t be required to appear in court if he doesn’t want to contest the charge, and will not impact his ability to appear in the state of South Carolina. Additionally, the situation was compared to being similar to a parking ticket, and since he has already paid the fine, this will likely be the end of the situation unless he disputes the charge.
Hardy was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for allegedly being drunk in public earlier Saturday morning. TMZ first reported Hardy was arrested and booked early this morning for public intoxication and impairment and was released at some point today on bond. It’s still unclear was led to Hardy being charged; he has been sidelined with a knee injury and had surgery on it in May, and said he was looking at a recovery time of 6-9 months.
