Troubled former NFL star turned UFC fighter Greg Hardy had been arrested in Texas for allegedly assaulting a family member.
The former Dallas Cowboys pass rusher was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and charged with assault resulting in bodily injury to a family member, according to TMZ.
Details on the alleged assault weren’t immediately available.
The 36-year-old is still in custody ahead of a Thursday court hearing.
Hardy’s run-ins with the law date back to 2014 when he was arrested for allegedly attacking his then-girlfriend.
Two years later, he was taken into custody for cocaine possession.
Hardy had stints with the Carolina Panthers and Cowboys during his six-year NFL career — including one All-Pro and Pro Bowl season in 2013.
His football career took a disturbing turn in the wake of the domestic violence incident with his girlfriend.
Following his football career, Hardy got into mixed martial arts and scored several fights in the UFC.
