Teddy Hart Court Hearing On Thursday, Facing 3rd Degree Felony Charges Of Possession Of MDMA And Possession Of A Controlled Substance Without Prescription
Teddy Hart’s legal troubles continue.
Teddy Hart, real name Edward Annis, is scheduled for a court hearing in Titusville, Florida on Thursday, December 14th, 2023 at 8:30 am. The hearing will be regarding Hart’s arrest back on July 15th, 2023 for possession of MDMA (ecstasy) and possession of a controlled substance without prescription. Both of these charges are third degree felonies in the state of Florida.
Hart’s court date on Thursday is listed as a mandatory appearance for “Early Resolution.” This court date comes after being delayed multiple times per the request of Hart’s Defense. At the initial hearing in September, the defense request an October date. Then on October 19th, they once again requested a delay and it was granted and set for December 14th, 2023.
Several hours prior to Teddy Hart’s arrest on the evening on July 15th, 2023, he wrestled his first match in nearly three years, appearing for Pro Wrestling Vision in a tag team match with Chasyn Rance. Hart was pulled over and arrested several hours after his appearance. Teddy Hart has not wrestled since the arrest back in July.
PWInsider.com has acquired the police report for Edward “Teddy Hart” Annis’ arrest on July 15th, 2023 at 3500 Cheney Highway in Titusville, Florida by Officer Eduardo Gonzales. You can read the entire police report below:
On Friday, July 14, 2023, at approximately 2309 hours, I observed a gray 2022 Ford Mustang bearing tag BM67ZT, travelling eastbound on Cheney Highway at a high rate of speed. I observed the vehicle enter the left turn lane at the intersection of Cheney Highway and South Street. The vehicle then failed to obey the steady red arrow, and initiated a left hand turn, around another vehicle, and began to travel west on Cheney Highway. After observing the high rate of speed and the failure to obey a steady red signal, I initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle in front of 3500 Cheney Highway.
Immediately upon contact with the driver, identified as Edward Ellsworth Annis, and the front seat passenger, identified as Brenda Shoun, I smelled the overbearing odor of burnt marijuana emanating from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. As I requested the registration and insurance information for the vehicle, Brenda opened the glove compartment which was directly in front of her. As Brenda opened the glove compartment, I observed an unsealed medical marijuana container with a faded label inside of the glove compartment. Upon the arrival of backup, I requested Edward and Brenda exit the vehicle.
As Brenda exited the vehicle, I observed several pieces of loose leaf marijuana shake on the seat where Brenda was seated. I asked if either of the individuals posssessed a medical marijuana card, and Edward stated he had one, but did not have it on him. Brenda stated to me she was the renter of the vehicle. I asked Brenda for consent to search the vehicle and she was very apprehensive to provide me with either a yes or no answer. I informed Brenda that I was only asking for consent out of a courtesy to her, as I had already developed probable cause due to the loose leaf marijuana I observed on the seat of her vehicle, as well as the unsealed medical marijuana container I observed in the glove compartment. It should be noted the loose leaf marijuana I located on Brenda’s seat later field tested presumptive positive for the presence of high-THC marijuana. I attempted to locate a history of Edward’s medical marijuana card and was unsuccessful.
Upon searching the center console of the vehicle, I located a black plastic glasses case. Upon opening the case, I located a small zip-loc baggie of red pills, and a small baggie of red powder. As I brought the glasses case to my vehicle in order to conduct field tests on the substances, Edward made a spontaneous utterance that the pills located inside the bag, as well as the powder, is a “proprietary blend of vitamins” and that he would “need that back”. Both the pills and the powder field tested presumptive positive for the presence of MDMA. It should be noted Edward knew the location of the baggies containing the substances without me asking him. Edward only saw me walk to my vehicle with the glasses case in my hand. I continued the search of the vehicle and located a small white fanny-pack with the American flag on the front. As Edward saw me reach for the bag, he immediately exclaimed “that’s her bag” referring to Brenda.
Upon opening the front pocket of the bag, I located both a USA and a Canadian passport, both with Edward’s information and photograph. I also located 2 small vials inside of the bag, one labeled “Masteron” and the other labeled “Testosterone Cypionate”. I recognized the names of the medications as anabolic steroids. Upon taking the items outside of the fanny pack, Edward immediately exclaimed “I have a prescription for those”. I also located a zip-loc bag containing a blue powder inside of the fanny pack with Edward’s passports. The blue powder later field tested presumptive positive for the presence of MDMA. It should be noted I located several more empty or opened and partially emptied medical marijuana containers inside of the vehicle during the course of the search.
Edward was placed under arrest at this time. In a post-Miranda statement I later obtained at the Titusville Police Department, Edward stated the powders and pills were a “proprietary blend” of MDMA-C. Edward also stated “he has no problem admitting the bag was his”.
Teddy Hart was arrested and charged with of third degree felony possession of MDMA (ecstasy), as well as third degree felony possession of a controlled substance without prescription. He was also cited for failure to stop at a steady red light, which was the reason Police pulled Teddy Hart over in the first place.
Hart paid a $283 traffic fine on September 19th, 2023 in relation to the citation for failing to stop at a steady red light, officially resolving that issue.
