New Drug Charge Levied Against Jeff Hardy, Still Facing Multiple Charges

North Carolina newspaper The Pilot is reporting that Jeff Hardy still faces all his previous drug charges despite online rumors to the contrary.

“His charges are still pending,” District Attorney Maureen Krueger said Tuesday. “In fact, a new one was added.”

The new charge levied against Hardy is for conspiracy to traffic opium, a serious felony.

Hardy was in court last Thursday but time ran out for his case to be heard. The court date has been rescheduled for July 6th.

Moore County sheriff’s deputies arrested Hardy on September 11, 2009 on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of anabolic steroids, after a search of his house yielded 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine, and drug paraphernalia.
