The Associated Press reports that TNA World Hvt. champion Jeff Hardy plans
to plead guilty to drug charges at his next court hearing on January 20,
2011.
The AP report, which was picked up by the Charlotte Observer newspaper, says
the Moore county district attorney is making the claim that Hardy will plead
guilty.
The report does not indicate what the punishment will be for a guilty plea.
The report notes Hardy is the current World champion for "Total Nonstop
Action Wrestling on the Spike TV cable channel."
On January 4, 2010, Hardy was indicted on three separate felony and
misdemeanor drug charges related to a raid on his house on September 11,
2009. An additional drug charge was tacked on when Hardy was indicted.
Hardy's court case was sent to Superior Court in Moore County, N.C., where
it has been continued each time since Jan. 4. Hardy's next appearance on
Jan. 20 will apparently lead to a punishment handed out.
The list of felony and misdemeanor charges Hardy is faced with is as
follows:
Count 1 - Felony drug trafficking, Two felony charges of possession of a
Schedule III controlled substance or drug.
Count 2 - Felony possession of cocaine, Felony maintaining a dwelling for
redistribution of controlled substances.
Count 3 - Misdemeanor Possession of drug paraphernalia.
Count 4 - Conspiracy to traffic opium (newly added January 2010).
