After making news last week getting arrested for refusing to cooperate with police officers ex NFL player James Hardy is now facing felony charges for resisting arrest. At the time of the incident, police were called to Hardy's neighborhood following complaints that he was causing a disturbance.
When police arrived in Hardy's neighborhood last Sunday they said he was aggressive and attacked them (via TMZ):
"Former NFL player James Hardy III -- a 2nd round draft pick in 2008 -- attacked multiple police officers Sunday during a violent arrest in L.A ... TMZ Sports has learned.
"Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops were called to an apartment complex in downtown L.A. around 4:30 PM ... and when they arrived to the scene Hardy refused to cooperate.
Eventually, officers used a TASER in an effort to subdue Hardy ... but it didn't have the desired effect.
"Several officers ultimately were able to take Hardy into custody and he was arrested for felony obstruction of justice. Hardy was later transported to a hospital.
"Law enforcement sources tell us ... officers believe Hardy may have been under the influence at the time of the incident."
Now Hardy is being charged with resisting arrest. There is a bench warrant for his arrest which could result in a $100,000 fine for failure to turn himself in.
According to Indy Star this is not unprecedented:
"This isn't Hardy's first legal trouble since leaving IU. In May 2008, just after the end of his college career, Hardy pulled a gun during an argument with his father, according to a news report at the time. Charges were not filed in the incident."
What do you think? Why is James Hardy so fit and strong that he can get tasered and still keep fighting but couldn't stay in the NFL?
Tell us your thoughts.
