Report: Greg Hardy arrested for assault on family member

Greg Hardy has had run-ins with the law before. His latest one yesterday afternoon now again involves a physical altercation of sorts.

Per TMZ last night, Hardy was arrested on Wednesday in the state of Texas. He, per records, was booked for “assault causes bodily injury family member” with him awaiting to see a judge on Thursday with his bond likely to be set then. No other information was available as of this time of their reporting.

“Jail records we obtained show (Hardy) was taken into custody at around 2:29 PM. He was booked on a charge of “assault causes bodily injury family family member,” the records show,” TMZ posted. “A jail official tells us Hardy is slated to see a judge on Thursday morning, and a bond is expected to be set at that court proceeding. Until then, he’ll remain behind bars, we’re told. Further details surrounding the allegations against Hardy were not made immediately available.

TMZ also noted Hardy’s other past with law enforcement. Those includes a domestic violence case back in 2014 and a possession charge for cocaine back two years later in 2016.

Hardy was involved in athletics for a decade and a half, playing football before competing in mixed martial arts and competitive fighting. He played on the defensive line at Ole Miss before being drafted in 2010 and playing for six seasons in the National Football League. He, in 75 games played for the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys, posted 238 tackles, 40 sacks, and eight forced fumbles with one recovery. Hardy then transitioned from the NFL into the UFC. He fought 13 times with a 7-5 record with none of those coming by way of knockout with a 6-3 mark. He, though, hasn’t fought since 2022.

More will be known once Hardy is in court, as early as today per reporting, and how this case could continue. Still, it looks to be another problem onto his record from over the past decade or so.
