I truly cannot believe that I just read about him getting arrested again. This is turning into a terrible weekly soap opera that has the same formula every week. Leave Impact out of this.

It seems like Matt Hardy becomes a bigger trainwreck on a daily basis. What a mess.

To answer a few question: HARDY'S GIRLFRIEND LED TO SEARCH OF HOUSE, LATEST ARREST by Mike Johnson @ 4:02 PM on 9/20/2011 TMZ.com is reporting that the search warrant that was executed on Matt Hardy's home on 9/14 was a direct result of his girlfriend, Lucha Libre USA personality Rebecca "Reby Sky" Reyes dialing 911 over her concerns for Hardy's condition. TMZ's report described Hardy as "strung out on pills." When police arrived, Reyes "led them to a secret safe containing several prescription painkillers." What Reyes showed them led the police to obtaining and executing a search warrant on Hardy's home and his arrest. Hardy was not at home at the time the search warrant was executed and turned himself in yesterday to face charges, so while he was technically charged on 9/14, he was not fingerprinted, etc. until last night. That explains the lag in time between the the search of the house and the public announcement of this latest arrest. ====== TMZ.comA week after he was arrested for DUI, Matt Hardy was thrown back in the slammer -- his third time in jail in a month -- and the search warrant makes it clear ... Matt has a major drug problem. According to search warrant docs obtained by TMZ, It all started with a 911 call last Wednesday -- placed by Matt's model girlfriend, Reby Sky, who was worried Matt "was strung out on pills and needed help." Police came and Matt's GF led them to a secret safe containing several prescription painkillers. Police then obtained a search warrant -- and according to cops, when they raided his house they found 20 vials of anabolic steroids and some ecstasy. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Matt wasn't home at the time of the search so they couldn't arrest him on the spot ... he turned himself in yesterday. ===== It did answer my question as to why he was wearing the same clothes in his mugshot as his rehab announcement video. So the girlfriend let them in and they got the warrant based on what they saw. All sounds on the up-and-up to me. So locked prescription (and presumably legal) drugs = grounds for searching for illegal drugs? This still does not compute for me, but whatever. Clearly the wheels of justice are going to grind on. He can't say that he did not bring it on himself. I wonder if Ruby meant for him to be in this much trouble when she called over him using prescription drugs. She might be beside herself at this point; happy that he just might get cleaned up and sad that her actions led him to getting into more serious trouble than he was going to otherwise.

The phrase "prescription painkillers" doesn't necessarily mean that he had a prescription for them. If they were in a bottle that had his name on it, then this wouldn't have happened. I believe that if cops find prescription narcotics in any container other than their original bottle, then you can be charged even if you do have a prescription.

Once you have a certain amount, you cross into carrying enough to distribute and that is, obviously, against the law. Throw in they probably saw the other paraphernalia and the X, that is more than enough to search.

She might be beside herself at this point; happy that he just might get cleaned up and sad that her actions led him to getting into more serious trouble than he was going to otherwise. I'm curious what doesn't compute, honestly. Let's look at the circumstances of the case. 1: She called 911 worriedly saying he was strung out on pills and that she was afraid for his safety. 2: She then invited police in and showed them a stash of drugs hidden away in a secret safe, which may have been more than he was legally allowed to have. I don't believe there are any children in the house, so that raises a question over why he had them in a secret safe (especially if they are completely on the up-and-up). 3: Ignoring everything occurring around Jeff, Matt has gotten into two accidents under questionable circumstances and posted a fake suicide letter, which led to a flurry of calls to your station. Even if you ignore everything else around him, you know he has had some, to put it nicely, questionable behavior in very recent history. Now, this is just what we know. We don't know if she said anything else to them, so I'm not going to assume that she did. To get a warrant, you have to have probable cause, which means that the circumstances present must support the suspicion enough so that a reasonable person believes they might doing something illegal. So do you not think that the circumstances above would make a reasonable person believe he might be doing something illegal?

If they're legally obtained and prescribed, then why in the WORLD would you need a SAFE to protect them? I mean...really? How are you not getting this? Rebecca called the police because she was in fear of his or her safety, one or the other. Upon arrival, they probably saw many items of questionable nature (lets face it, NO ONE in that house has been in their right minds the past few months), and then she led them to a locked safe. A SAFE. And looking in the medicine SAFE (again, not a cabinet), they saw what seems to amount to enough prescription narcotics to take down a small army of charging buffalo (TATANKA!). Where is the part you don't get?

Those pictures of Matt and Jeff when they were kind of a big deal (fairly quick) make me want to stop making jokes at Matts expense. Matt and Jeff getting clean, getting rehired and getting pushed could be THE wrestling feel good story of 2012. Oh, that's definitely an ideal, but a few points here. I may only have a BS in criminal psych, but I think I've got a few ideas. Jeff was doing better in the structure of WWE in later years, but as Jeff was getting clean Matt was losing it with the online videos starting up. Jeff was apparently clean until right before the Victory Road match, which leads me to believe that there may be a connection there. Call it stress, call it performance anxiety, but something made him have that need that he didn't have earlier in the day. Jeff, to me, finds a connection between "the business" and his addiction. Honestly, I think a lot of it has to do with how young he was when he started. He set the bar high for the crazy stuff he'd do when he was pretty much a kid, and now he's older and the body doesn't bounce back like it used to. Yet, performance-wise he still feels that need to do what he used to. Hence, I believe, the need kicks in when the curtain goes up. Matt, on the other hand, has been (in the minds of fans and I'll assume promoters) the "responsible one", the one that cleaned up Jeff's messes and made excuses to reassure his little brother. Yet, when a bump occurs in Matt's life, a break-up or not getting the recognition he deserves in the form of a push, we see the immaturity and erratic behavior surface. What might be solved with a night out with his buddies, a round of beers or maybe just some moping, instead manifests itself in an extreme need for attention, self-destructive behavior designed to draw the eyes of the public, and this combination of narcissistic behavior with an almost persecution complex. So what drives him? Simple, when he's the "responsible one" he counts on those around him to tell him how awesome he is. how much he deserves the attention that Jeff gets because he's got his stuff together. When Lita cheated on him it wasn't just "damn it, this blows and I'm pissed" it became "everyone hates me". It's immaturity kicking in, which leads to immature outlets. His actions aren't of a nearly 40 year old man, they're of a kid who's had to play the excuse game for his sibling while surrounding himself with followers who will tell him he's perfect. Everyone else is a "hater", and they can be shouted down and drowned out in a haze of whatever's handy.

I am just fuzzy on the legalities, but perhaps not all details are available. I am just saying that I have to wonder if the police overstepped their boundaries. Someone's girlfriend contacts you about her concerns about her boyfriend and his prescription pill usage (and rightfully so, to be honest), shows you that he has several prescription pills in a safe, and your response is to go for the high profile arrest instead of rendering the aid that she sounds to have asked for. Granted, none of it excuses what Matt was found to have, nor does it mean that he has one single excuse for his behavior lately. If going to jail means that he straightens out, then perhaps it is for the best.

There's not really any more details that we could have that would give less probable cause to obtain a warrant We know certain things right now, and those factors alone give probably cause. Anything else could only add to that probable cause. With that in hand, the police did exactly what they could have and should have done in that situation. By getting a warrant, through all the legal channels, they ensured that they could search and get all the drugs out of the house, which I don't believe they could have legally done without a warrant. Once they found the drugs, they really had no choice but to report it and let the chips fall where they may. That's the law, and arbitrarily enforcing the law is far worse than following it to the letter. It doesn't matter if Reby didn't expect there to be more drug charges, she called them on him because she was worried and showed them a secret safe full of prescription drugs (which only means that the drugs are obtainable via prescription, not that he was legally allowed to have them, or allowed to have them on the amounts he did). They did exactly what their job entitles and expects them to do, get a legal warrant, find the drugs, get them out of the house, and take measures to try to prevent him from getting more. There's not really anything else they could have done to help him more than that.

I know he's f***ed up a lot, but this video made me feel for him. I hope he sticks through the rehab and cleans himself up, he seems like he really wants to.

I was going to give Matt credit for actually deciding to put himself in rehab, but considering he only did it after the police showed up and raided his house I'm thinking at this point he's only doing it to try and save face.
So I'll just hope that it ends up doing the guy some good.

So now it comes out the jackass got arrested again just yesterday before he posted his youtube video saying he was going to rehab which knowing him he filmed outside of the damn jailhouse.
He's an idiot. And his girlfriend who got arrested/ticketed for "speeding" aka "reckless/thoughtless driving" (same offense...different charge...depends on how nice the officer wants to be. I've been charged with both and one takes points the other doesn't....fine it also different) is the one who snitched on his ass.
Damn them.

I agree, if there were circumstances that weren't legit for them to search the house then it'd be a different matter entirely. It's just that I don't think there's any circumstance that would cause there not to be a reasonable doubt short of everyone in the world waking up and realizing that Matt Hardy was just a dream. And even then, there's probably still a reason to search.

According to the report a few sites have posted Reby told the police that Matt had vicodin in the safe that he didn't have a prescription for.
Earlier today, we reported that former WWE & TNA star Matt Hardy was arrested once again last week (9/14) on drug charges that include possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell or deliver, possessing a controlled substance, maintaining a drug dwelling and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a release today from the Moore County Sheriff’s Office.
New details have now been made available regarding Matt’s third arrest in the past month after TMZ.com published the arrest warrant obtained by police.
- Matt Hardy’s girlfriend Rebecca Reyes (Reby Sky) called 911 last Wednesday and told police that Matt was “strung out on pills” and needed help.
- When police arrived at Matt’s home, Matt “had trouble speaking” and was “very unsteady on his feet.” Matt did not smell like alcohol, leading the officer to believe that he was under the influence of “some type of unknown impairing substance other than alcohol.” EMTs were called and Matt was taken to the emergency room of the First Health of the Carolinas hospital.
- Reby Sky told police that Matt had a safe at his home that contained “numerous Vicodin” pills, which she told the police Matt did not have a prescription for. She gave police the keys to the safe.
- After a warrant was granted, police seized the following items from Matt’s home:
(1) Empty Small Round Glass Containers of Blue Locus Extract
(2) Handwritten Note
(3) Vials of Liquid Substance
(4) Vial of Powder Substance
(5) Syringes
(6) Empty K2 Smoke Blend Packet
(7) $1,961 US Currency
(8) Small Blue Pill
Matt was not home at the time of search, so he was not arrested on the spot. He later turned himself in and is due back in court on Thursday.
