WWE star Jeff Hardy was arrested Saturday in Concord, N.C., for driving while impaired.

According to an arrest warrant obtained by WFMY-TV, Hardy was pulled over near the Charlotte Motor Speedway following a single-vehicle crash. He was then taken to the Cabarrus County Detention Center, where officials said he registered a .25 on a breathalyzer test - significantly higher than the legal limit of .08.

The arrest report notes that Hardy was driving northbound on Concord Parkway when he "ran off the roadway ... striking about 105 feet of guardrail before the back end of the car spun out 90 degrees ... coming to rest in the middle of the right (north)bound lane of travel," according to CBS Sports. Police on the scene estimated that Hardy caused $8,000 worth of damages to his 2016 Cadillac and $5,000 to the guardrail.

"Jeff Hardy is responsible for his own personal actions," WWE said in a statement to CBS Sports. "We are investigating the matter and awaiting information from local law enforcement officials."

Hardy has a court date scheduled for April 16.
