Greg Hardy Arrested for Assault in Texas

Greg Hardy, 36, a former Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers defensive end who later became a UFC fighter, was arrested in Richardson, Texas, on Wednesday for assault causing bodily injury to a family member. Jail records confirm Hardy remains in custody pending a Thursday bond hearing. Authorities have not released details regarding the incident that led to his arrest. Hardy's legal history includes a 2014 domestic violence conviction involving his then-girlfriend, which was later dismissed, and a 2016 arrest for cocaine possession. After his NFL career, Hardy attempted mixed martial arts and boxing, but both were overshadowed by continued controversy tied to his legal issues. The Cowboys opted not to re-sign Hardy in 2016 amid backlash over his conduct and previous domestic violence case.
