Greg Hardy, the former NFL defensive end who became a UFC fighter, was arrested in Texas on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a family member
Hardy remain behind bars until Thursday morning, when he will see a judge and bond is expected to be set.
He was taken into custody at 2:29pm, the publication adds, with his charge recorded as ‘assault causing bodily injury family family member’.
Otherwise, further details over precisely what Hardy is alleged to have done before cops were alerted have not been released.
The 36-year-old Hardy has been in trouble with the law before.
He was convicted in July 2014 of assaulting and threatening a woman who contended the 6-foot-4, 275-pounder threw her in a bathtub and onto a sofa covered with guns before threatening to kill her.
He appealed, and prosecutors in North Carolina eventually dismissed domestic violence charges in February 2015, saying the accuser in the case couldn’t be found. The court heard the woman had reached a civil settlement with Hardy.
He was also arrested on a cocaine possession charge in Dallas in 2016.
Hardy played in the NFL from 2010 until 2015. He made the Pro Bowl in 2013, recording 13 sacks for the Carolina Panthers, who drafted him in the sixth round of the 2010 Draft from Mississippi.
After leaving the Panthers in 2015, he signed a one-year, $11.3million deal with the Dallas Cowboys – the final team he played for the in the NFL.
