JIMMY NEIDHART ARRESTED

Former WWF Tag Team champion (and father of current WWE Diva Natalya) Jim Neidhart was arrested earlier today and charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance, one count of burglary of an occupied dwelling and one count of grand theft.
Neidhart, 58, was arrested this morning in Thonotosassa, Florida after deputies were alerted to him being loud and yelling as the former Hart Foundation member attempted to open a pill bottle while pumping gas in a gas station parking lot located at 3100 Flethcher Avenue.


Neidhart was argumentative with the authorities, leading to them patting him down and finding 28 methodone tablets and 95 oxycotin pills. Several pill bottles in Neidhart's possession were belonging to neighbors who had recently reported them stolen.


Neidhart, who was listed as a self employed entertainer on his arrest record, is currently being held without bond pending his first appearance before a judge. Due to the Labor Day holiday, he will likely not be seen before Tuesday.


The arrest has already been picked up by the local FOX affiliate in Tampa. The affiliate is reporting that some of the alleged theft victims knew Neidhart but had not given him permission to take their prescription medication.


Nationally, Neidhart was last seen defeating Jay Lethal several months back on a TNA Impact episode. He still occasionally works on the independent scene and makes regular convention appearances
