The former wrestler tweeted that the media has not reported his story correctly.

Officials arrested former WWE and TNT wrestler Jeff Hardy on Friday morning at his home in Cameron, N.C., on a list of drug charges.

The arrest took place after they searched his home, finding and seizing 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 Soma prescription pills, 55 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of cocaine and drug paraphernalia, according to a release from the Moore County Sheriff's Office, The Fayetteville Observer reported.

The drugs' street value is about $2,500.

Hardy, 32, was later released from the Moore County Detention Center on bond.

Late Friday afternoon, he posted a message from his Twitter account that said, "Alot (sic) of exaggerations are out there today, don't believe everything you read 4 it is not true, I am at home and fine-thanks for your concern." He later tweeted that his brother, Matt Hardy, did not bail him out of jail or loan him money, which many media outlets have reported.

The WWE has suspended Jeff Hardy in the past for drug violations.
