The troubles for Jeff Hardy continue, as the AEW star has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence and with a suspended license.

Fightful reports that Hardy, 44, was arrested in Volusia County, Florida, early Monday morning for allegedly driving with a suspended/revoked license and driving under the influence for the third time in 10 years.

He was released on bond and reportedly was slated for a hearing on Tuesday.

According to Fightful's review of the arrest report, Hardy blew a 0.294 on his breathalyzer, which would be more than 3.5 times the state's legal limit of 0.08. Reportedly, Jeff was driving under the speed limit and weaving. He was "barely responsive" when the officer pulled him over and engaged him, and he struggled to put the car in park.

Hardy has had a long history of substance abuse issues, including multiple DUIs. He was released from WWE late last year amid accusations that he was using drugs, but a subsequent drug test came back clean. He joined AEW in March, partnering with his brother Matt and reforming the Hardys. The duo most recently won their tag match against the Young Bucks at AEW Double or Nothing.

Fightful noted that the scheduled AEW Tag Team Championship three-way ladder match pitting champs Jurassic Express against the Hardys and Young Bucks was not advertised on AEW's Twitter account Monday afternoon when previewing Wednesday's Dynamite.
