Florida Highway Patrol released dash-camera video Tuesday showing the traffic stop that ended in the arrest of professional wrestler Jeff Hardy.

At 27:14 in the video, Hardy can be seen receiving instructions on the exercises from the troopers. Around 30 minutes into the video, Hardy is asked to walk nine steps in a straight line. At 11:29 in the video, Hardy’s bag is searched. Hardy’s response is not audible in the video. The video ends shortly thereafter. The video shows him trying several more times to stand with his feet together, but Hardy appears to have difficulty every time. Troopers can be seen immediately patting the wrestler down and removing his backpack from the vehicle. The video shows Hardy’s car jerk forward as troopers still have their weapons pointed at the driver. Troopers catch up with the Charger nearly four minutes into the video. About six minutes into the video, Hardy exits the car. In the video, the Charger can be seen drifting onto the left shoulder of the road, coming close to the concrete barrier and then drifting back into both lanes of traffic. Troopers caught up with the vehicle as it merged from I-4 onto Interstate 95 in Volusia County, records show.

Jeff Hardy Arrested On Suspicion Of DUI In Florida (Forbes)

Jeff Hardy was arrested in Volusia County, Fla. for "DUI Alcohol/Drugs 3rd Offense within 10 years" among other charges.

Pro wrestling’s addiction to Jeff Hardy is every bit as dark as Hardy’s own addictions. AEW is no different, as the pro wrestling industry continues to be one of the biggest enablers of Hardy’s never-ending struggles with substance abuse. I feel Jeff was stressed out in many ways about several things and he confessed to me that when he went over that guardrail, he knew he was done. Despite Hardy’s unfavorable history, including the fresh controversy surrounding his WWE departure, AEW literally couldn’t sign Jeff Hardy fast enough. He was literally done with the match and he felt done." Hardy last competed alongside his brother Matt at AEW Double or Nothing in a victory over the Young Bucks. Many were quick to point out Hardy’s physical condition as he appeared very banged up.

Jeff's brother, Matt Hardy, later confirmed that Jeff turned down WWE's offer to go to rehab, leading to his release. The three-time WWE world champion, five-time WWE intercontinental champion and nine-time WWE tag team champion made his AEW debut in March by saving Matt from an attack at the hands of Andrade El Idolo and others. His most recent WWE run ended in December when WWE released him after he exited through the crowd during a six-man tag team match he was involved in at a house show.

Reby Hardy, the wife of Matt Hardy, has shared an amusing reaction to Jeff Hardy's DUI arrest. She is hopeful that Matt doesn't get hurt.

So considering he got really knocked loopy terribly at some point earlier in the match, he still did pretty good … If you look at that Swanton he does on the stairs, he still does it perfectly.” “[Jeff] doesn’t remember the match at all after that happened,” Matt recently said on his podcast. The Charismatic Enigma was previously slated to appear in court Tuesday at 1:30 pm ET, but that appearance is currently listed as “canceled.”

Jeff Hardy needs help (Deadspin)

It's undeniable at this point. Jeff Hardy must come to terms with how lucky he is that his reckless behavior has not seriously hurt anyone thus far.

The Hardys’ long-standing feud with Edge and Christian, as well as the Dudley Boyz, inspired so many of today’s WWE and AEW performers to pursue a career in professional wrestling. He has the chance to grow and get healthy. He was booked with DUIs in 2018 and 2019, as well as a public intoxication charge in 2019. Hardy initially couldn’t maintain his balance when being interviewed by police and said he was in Florida to get a “brain scan.” While we can’t take Hardy at his word with extreme levels of drunkenness, why is he cleared to wrestle if he needs to get his brain examined? The statement also said he can only return to AEW if he successfully completes the treatment and maintains sobriety. Hardy, who’s currently signed with All Elite Wrestling after a long career in WWE and TNA, was arrested Monday in Florida on three total charges.

Fightful noted that because of this, Hardy has had no issues renting vehicles over the last several years, from his time in WWE to joining AEW earlier this year, despite his legal problems. Time, in general, has been a confusing aspect of this story, thought Fightful was able to confirm that Hardy was arrested at 9:54 in the morning and booked nearly three hours later at 12:45 p.m., rather than 12:45 a.m. as originally thought. Fightful stressed however that Matt didn’t leave until he made sure Jeff got back to his hotel room safe and sound.
