After several rounds of hearings and delays, Jeff Hardy’s trial stemming from his drug arrest last year is set to begin next Monday (5/10) in Moore County, North Carolina. Hardy’s drug charges went to a grand jury back in January and they found that there was enough evidence to indict Hardy and send the case to Superior Court.

Hardy was arrested on September 11th, 2009 after police raided his home in Cameron, North Carolina. A joint investigation conducted by officers with the Moore County Sheriff’s Office narcotics and select enforcement units and the Fayetteville Police Department led to the search.

According to the police report, a search of his residence yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and items of drug paraphernalia.

He was charged with felony trafficking in opium, two counts of felony possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, felony maintaining a dwelling to keep controlled substance, felony possession of cocaine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia.

If convicted of all charges, Hardy faces upto 14 years in prison.

felony maintaining a dwelling to keep controlled substance...I love "add-on" charges like this

most drug laws are wack...

could you explain that to me? That one confuses me

What's a schedule III controlled substance? Man they are throwing the criminal pharmaceutical book at this dude. He was probably just hooking his wrestling homeboys up with some muscle building dope. The law needs to lay off these folk and just let them roid. At the end of the day it's their ass and if they get sick and can no longer compete...well...they were warned.

I looks to me that Jeff Hardy was getting bulk amounts of steroids and painkillers for his use and to share among his wrestling buddies. Considering some of the extremely dangerous stunts they do in the ring, it doesn't surprise me that they take so many painkillers. But all of this punishment comes at a steep price, since there have been a number of wrestlers who have died before reaching their 50th birthday, many from prescription drug or steroid induced diseases.

The biggest reason the authorities are cracking down on these wrestlers is because of Chris Benoit, who killed his wife and two children in what was believed to be roid rage, and after realizing what he had done, he hanged himself the next day. It turned out that he had a mental illness to begin with, but the police found tons of steroids and painkillers at his house when they found the bodies.

And if anybody knows about bumps, it's Jeff

I remember that story. Terribly sad. I believe the drugs somehow enhanced his already volatile mental condition. However, it seems unfair to make an example out of this Hardy fellow. He didn't kill anybody and it's not reported that anyone committed a crime while under the influence of drugs obtained from Hardy. Again, we either have to let these guys use roids legally or stop with the obsession of big bulky and abnormally strong men. Heck, the authorities ought to crack down on these body builders if they really want to catch somebody with a stash of illegal and prescritpion medications.

why has this taken a year to go to trial?

Chris was never seemed.....how can I say....social? He was the kind of person who never smiled, never laughed. He was ALWAYS moody. In and out of the ring, so to find out he had mental issues, it kinda made sense

doctors prescribe vicodin like it's water. which it isn't.
