Moore County Sheriff’s Office
Pro wrestler Jeff Hardy has his second DWI arrest in as many years, and it sounds like the WWE’s patience — as well as his family’s — is wearing thin.
Hardy — aka Brother Nero — was busted in Moore County, NC on Thursday around 10:30 PM. He was booked for driving while impaired, and for driving on a revoked drivers license.
Hardy got his first DWI in March 2018 — also in North Carolina — after getting into a car accident. He was totally blitzed, according to cops who said he blew a .25 BAC — more than 3 times the legal limit.
As TMZ Sports first reported … he was also arrested in July of this year for public intoxication in Myrtle Beach.
Normally, Hardy would be in the ring as one half of the Hardy Boyz for SmackDown — which made its big debut on FOX Friday night — but he’s been recovering from a knee surgery in May.
In response to Thursday’s arrest, the WWE says Jeff “is responsible for his own personal actions.” Due to the surgery … he wasn’t expected back in the ring until late this year, at best.
Since so many have asked me about my brother tonight-I love my brother & want him to be happy & healthy. I’ve expressed that to him as much as I can. Jeff has to make his decisions about his life.
I have to focus on my 2 boys & soon to arrive son. I can only control MY actions.

Hardy’s brother had a similar reaction to the WWE’s, saying … “Jeff has to make his decisions about his life.”
