Judge Sets Jim Neidhart’s Bail At Over $100,000

Posted by Daniel Pena on Monday, September 6th, 2010

Former WWE performer James Henry Neidhart, 55, (a/k/a Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart) made his first appearance in court this morning in Tampa, Florida to face two counts of possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, two counts of trafficking illegal drugs, one count of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, and one count of third degree grand theft for property stolen between $300 and $5,000. His bond was set at $138,500.

Neidhart’s arrest was covered this morning by several local media outlets including WTVT-TV and Tampa Bay Online. TBO notes that Neidhart allegedly pried open the rear door of a neighbor’s home and stole her prescription pills, which are valued at more than $300.

The father of WWE Diva Natalya was arrested Sunday at 2:50 p.m. after deputies were alerted to him being loud and unruly as he was pumping gas at the A.J. Food Market, located at 9806 Tom Folsom Road. He was seen opening pill bottles located in the trunk of his silver Pontiac Sunfire, according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s arrest report.

When authorities arrived to the scene, he was agitated and aggressive. He was observed “ingesting multiple pills that he dropped on the ground while inside the trunk of his vehicle,” the sheriff’s office arrest report states.

    Sad news. Jim was one of my favorites growing up. Started watching him when he was with Stampede in Calgary. I was excited to see he was still wrestling when I came across a picture of him and Krusher Kruschev (Barry Darsow) in Pro Wrestling Illustrated, and then he popped up in WWE.
    Brett’ book mentions that he was heavily involved in drugs starting years ago.
    I have lots of great memories of the Anvil, and was hoping he might make an appearance with the new Hart group. I’ll keep him in my prayers.

    This post bothered me a bit cause the hart foundation was my favorite tag team so I looked into it a bit and found this, the whole story. I don’t like it but this is how it is. “A serious cry for help.”
