This is the second time Hardy has been arrested in the past 18 months, with the former United States Champion booked for driving while impaired last March.

Jeff currently finds himself on WWE's injury reserve list having suffered a leg issue severe enough for the company to strip him and brother Matt of their SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and isn't expected to return for another 5-7 months. The promotion are yet to comment on his arrest.

Fingers crossed that all is well with Hardy, given the problems his vices have caused him in the past.
