Former WWE Champion and tag team specialist Jeff Hardy had a great time in WWE but ultimately left the company due to a variety of reasons. He made his way to AEW back in March of this year and was having a great time there.
However, that all changed after he was arrested for his third DUI before an episode of AEW Dynamite. According to Florida criminal statutes, special laws are in place for multiple DUI offenders. A third DUI conviction within ten years is considered a felony in the state. Due to this, he could very well be seeing some jail time.
If an individual is convicted of a third DUI within ten years in Florida, a judge is required to impose several penalties. Many people wrongly ended up blaming his brother Matt Hardy for putting him in danger as well.
According to PWInsider, Hardy’s scheduled pre-trial hearing for his DUI related charges in Florida yesterday did not take place as scheduled. His defense filed for a continuance, with the pre-trial hearing now scheduled for Wednesday 12/21.
Hased on court records, Hardy is required to appear before the court for the hearing. Hardy filed a written plea of not guilty filed with the court on 6/28.
Hardy’s attorneys waived his right to a speedy trial and requested a hearing originally set for this past July be pushed back 60 days to assist in his defense.
