Jeff Hardy was charged with trafficking in opium, two counts of possession with intent to sell or deliver a Schedule III controlled substance, maintaining a dwelling for drugs, possession of cocaine, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Hardy, 32, a native of Cameron, has worked off and on for the well-known World Wrestling Entertainment since he was a teenager and with the help of his brother Matt, ran a local promotion known as OMEGA in the late 1990s.
