Breaking News: Jeff Hardy To Plead Guilty to Drug Charges

[Travicity]

We have just learned from our sources at PWTorch and the Associated Press that TNA Champion Jeff Hardy will enter a guilty plea to the drug charges against him during his next court hearing, which will take place on January 20, 2011.

The AP report was picked up by the North Carolina-based Charlotte Observer newspaper, which states that the Moore County district attorney announced that Hardy would plead guilty. The report, which lists Hardy as "the current World champion for "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling on the Spike TV cable channel," does not state what sort of punishment Hardy will face if he in fact does plead guilty.

More on this story as it becomes available.

This is a link to North Carolina penalties for illegal possession and drug trafficking. According to the charges levied, Hardy is facing a MANDATORY sentencing of 45 days at least. There is no getting around this... regardless of plea agreement or not. The question is whether this will be 45 days in the hole... or possibly 6 months!

The Charlotte Observer is reporting that when Jeff Hardy finally makes it to court next month he plans to plead guilty on the drug offenses that he was charged with in September of 2009, according to the Moore County District Attorney. Obviously, this puts TNA in a bit of a pickle since Jeff is their world champion. They have to take the title off of him, right? RIGHT?

[Vick Diesel]

Well, I kinda see AJ turning face and leaving Fortune after Genesis, so I don't know about that, but it's hard to say. They could do just about anything, really and there isn't much I would put past them.

[The Mac]

he wont get no damn time... he will get community service, go accross america giving anti drug talks at schools and never see the inside of a prision cell

[Shane McMahon's Ass]

I'm hoping he will spend time in Jail. What kind of a message is that sending if he doesn't? I mean his main charges are Felony Drug trafficking and such. Paris Hilton wasn't even selling anything except her herpes ridden body and she got a few weeks in jail.

[Metalitia]

He's pleading guilty most likely as his lawyer has sorted out a plea bargain for him. If so he may well still do a little bit of time but it would be minimal and heavily conditioned.

I said a while back Matt Hardy is my shout for Jeff Hardys mystery opponent to face RVD. Probably be touted as a huge aqquisition for TNA heh.

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

it's a swerve Russo and Bischoff are playing everyone for suckers :shifty:

Jeff isn't "manning up", he's pleading guilty because he knows he'd lose if the issue went to court. Pleading guilty just means the courts offer him a reduced sentence, which saves them money.

[Travicity]

We have learned from numerous sources that TNA Champion Jeff Hardy will in fact be heading to jail due to the seriousness of the drug charges he faces.

Hardy, whose next court appearance will be on January 20, 2011, is facing a mandatory 45-day jail sentence because of the charges levied against him, regardless of any kind of plea or plea agreement he may make or reach. There is also a chance that Hardy could go to jail for six months, but in many cases, the defendant can always agree to enter a rehabilitation facility in order to try to have their jail sentences reduced.

We will continue to keep all of you updated as we learn more information about this story.
