Jeff Hardy Pleads No Contest To Multiple Charges In DUI Case
BY MATTHEW CARLINS / FEB. 23, 2023 9:07 PM EST
The D.U.I. case against Jeff Hardy is closed after the AEW star entered pleas on multiple charges in Volusia County, Florida court on Thursday.
Hardy pleaded "nolo contendere" to three counts, declining to contest the charges in court. Officially, the judge in the case adjudicated Hardy guilty on all counts, including the most serious one: a felony charge of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. It's Hardy's third such offense in the State of Florida within the last few years. Hardy was sentenced to serve 38 days in prison. He was credited with time already served, instantly completing his sentence.
The charges stemmed from Hardy's arrest on June 13, 2022. Florida Highway Patrol pulled over Hardy after his vehicle was spotted driving erratically. Authorities said Hardy's blood-alcohol level was found to be three times the legal limit.
