JEFF HARDY'S FIRST COURT DATE SET FOR LATER THIS MONTH, LIST OF CHARGES HE WILL BE ARRAIGNED ON

By Mike Johnson on 2009-09-15 14:05:08

Jeff Hardy's first court hearing will be the morning of Wednesday 9/30 to face the following charges:

*Felony possession of cocaine.

*Felony drug trafficking of opium

*Felony possession with intent to redistribute a Schedule III drug (two counts).

*Maintaining a dwelling for drug use and/or distribution.

*Possession of drug paraphernalia. (misdemeanor)

It should be noted that trafficking charges will be related to the weight of the pills Hardy had in his home.  Should Hardy be able to provide a legitimate prescription for some/all the painkillers, the weight would be reduced, leading to charges being dropped/reduced as well.  That's all conjecture based on the possibility of legitimate prescriptions, however.

Hardy promised to make a further statement last Friday via his twitter account, but as of yet has not beyond thanking fans for their support.
