JEFF HARDY IN COURT TODAY FOR PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING ON DRUG ARREST

Jeff Hardy is scheduled for a probable cause hearing this morning before the Moore County Criminal District Court in Carthage, North Carolina.  The hearing, spurred by Hardy's arrest this past September on a number of drug charges, will determine if (a) a crime has been committed and (b) if the defendant (Jeff) probably committed it. 

If the determination is made that Jeff probably did, the case would then be passed on to a Grand Jury.  The Grand Jury would review the evidence and make a decision regarding whether or not to criminally indict Hardy on 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)

Should Hardy end up indicted, he would then be transferred to Superior Court to be tried, unless he opts to make a plea bargain with the prosecution somewhere along in the process.
