While he is still current incarcerated, it may be a little easier for Jim Neidhart to be released shortly.

The presiding Judge in the case opted to allow Neidhart to be released without bail on the charges of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, grant theft (third degree - $300-$3,000), trafficking in illegal drugs (Methodone) and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute (Methodone).

Neidhart, who has been jailed for twelve days and counting, would need to post $50,000 bail for trafficking in illegal drugs (oxycotin) and $7,500 for possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute (oxycotin). That's way down from his original bail of $138,500.

Neidhart, 58, was arrested on 9/5 Thonotosassa, Florida after deputies were alerted to him being loud and yelling as he attempted to open a pill bottle while pumping gas. Neidhart was argumentative with the authorities, leading to them patting him down and finding 28 methodone tablets and 95 oxycotin pills.

Several pill bottles in Neidhart's possession were belonging to a neighbor who had recently reported them stolen. The neighbor in question has told media and authorities that while she knew Neidhart, she had not given him permission to take their prescription medication and her back door had been recently forced open.

Nationally, Neidhart was last seen defeating Jay Lethal several months back on a TNA Impact episode. He still occasionally works on the independent scene and makes regular convention appearances.
