Former WWE star and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) performer Jeff Hardy was arrested on Monday in Florida on DUI and other charges.
Hardy, 44, was arrested for a DUI while driving, while his license was revoked/revoked and violating a ban that required his vehicle to have a DUI interlock device. According to The Daytona Beach News-Journal, it was Hardy’s third DUI offense in the past 10 years and is a third-degree felony.
Florida Highway Patrol arrested Hardy in Volusia County on Interstate-4. Police said Hardy was “swerving all over the roadway, failing to maintain (his) lane, and running off the roadway…”
Police said Hardy admitted to drinking earlier in the day. Hardy agreed to two breathalyzer readings and blew an 0.294 and an 0.291. The legal limit in Florida is 0.08.
Hardy, a North Carolina native, was arrested in his home state for driving while impaired in 2018 and 2019. He was found in Myrtle Beach, S.C. in July 2019. He was arrested on charges of public intoxication.
Hardy is known for his theatrics in the WWE ring. His high-flying style in the company’s Attitude Era and beyond made him a fan favorite and created a legacy that lives on today.
