WWE Releases Statement Following Jeff Hardy’s Arrest

Jeff Hardy returned to WWE Friday Night SmackDown weeks ago, and since then Hardy has been featured in a prominent spot on the blue brand.

It’s no big secret that Jeff Hardy has had his fair share of problems with substance abuse and legal issues over the years, and this week on SmackDown WWE decided to play off his past and turn it into a storyline where he was arrested.

Jeff later returned during the main event and attacked Sheamus.

WWE has since posted the following storyline update on the arrest:

“WWE Digital has learned Jeff Hardy was released from custody by the Orlando police after successfully passing the required sobriety tests, therefore absolving Hardy of the charges of public intoxication, driving under the influence, and the hit-and-run on Elias earlier tonight.

Elias was found injured in the parking lot with an abandoned car nearby before Friday Night SmackDown began. Hardy was taken into custody after being found in a dazed state not far from the scene, but he reemerged as Sheamus battled Daniel Bryan in the night’s final match.

Stay tuned to WWE social and digital channels for the latest updates on the developing situation.”
