They're Not Mine

On September 11, Jeff Hardy was arrested at his home. He had taken a large package off his front step and brought it inside to open it. Local police entered the home and found Hardy. Inside the package were various prescription substances, and - allegedly - cocaine. It appeared Hardy's troubles were continuing, and had perhaps, only begun.

You see, Hardy was cited and charged with possession, intent to distribute, and trafficking due to the weight of these substances. Now, had each of these, aside from the cocaine, had a valid prescription, Hardy would have been safe from prosecution. The question now, is whether any valid prescription has ever been provided. There are various rumors that Hardy was shocked at the package's contents, or that he stated none of it was his, or that he had no idea what it was until he cut the tape. The fact is, "They're not mine," doesn't wash as a defense. Your property or not, they're in your possession. Without proper documentation, you've broken the law - and since there was cocaine at the scene, you've broken the law anyways!

Jeff Hardy may be a fantastic entertainer, athlete, and brother. However, the monkey on his back is himself. Even if 100% of the contents of that package were not meant to be his, he was found with them on his property, and is therfore, guilty of possession of cocaine - at the very least. Should there be no prescription in his name for the other items, Jeff Hardy may be looking at a lengthy prison term.
