Jeff Hardy of the WWE, one half of the wrestling organization's Hardy Boyz, was arrested for DWI Saturday night in North Carolina, according to TMZ. Hardy reportedly crashed his car, and his BAC clocked in at three times the legal limit, which is .08 percent in North Carolina. He reportedly blew a .25 on a breathalyzer test.

The 40-year-old wrestling star was reportedly involved in a single-car crash in his 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan. Hardy was booked for DWI. He'll stand trial in April.

"Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions," WWE told TMZ. "We are investigating the matter and awaiting information from local law enforcement officials."

This is not the first time Hardy has found himself in trouble. He was prohibited from boarding a flight in 2008 after a Southwest Airlines employee determined he was intoxicated. In a more serious case, Hardy was arrested in 2009 on charges of trafficking and possession of anabolic steroids. A search of his home turned up Vicodin, Soma prescription pills, steroids, and cocaine. He was sentenced to 10 days in jail, 30 months of probation, and a $100,000 fine. He served the time in 2011.

Hardy, who is originally from Cameron, N.C., is currently inactive in the WWE as he recovers from surgery to repair a torn right rotator cuff. Hardy and his brother Matt form the Hardy Boyz. The brothers gained notoriety for their efforts as a tag-team pairing.

Hardy is also a member of the band PeroxWhy?Gen, which has released two studio albums.
