Free agent defensive end Greg Hardy has avoided jail time on cocaine charges, according to FOX 4 of Dallas Fort Worth.

Hardy pleaded guilty to a drug charge from September 2016 on Friday morning. Policed pulled over Hardy and searched his car before finding a small bag with traces of cocaine in it. Hardy told police that he was passing around his wallet at the party "because he was paying for everybody and that must have been when the baggie was put in his wallet," according to the police report.

According to the plea deal, Hardy must do community service and pay a $500 fine.
