Nick Hogan sentenced to 8 months in jail

Today in Clearwater, Florida, a judge sentenced Nick Bollea, son of famous WWE wrestler Hulk Hogan, to eight months in jail for reckless driving. Last August Bollea crashed his father's yellow modified Toyota Supra into a palm tree while street racing. Not only did he total the car, but his friend John Graziano who was riding shotgun that night will now require lifetime medical care for his critical injuries. The young Hogan was reportedly led off to serve his sentence immediately after it was handed down by the judge. In addition to the jail time, Bollea will also be on probation for five years and lose his drivers license for three. After all the hoopla that's led us to this point in Nick Bollea's tragic story, the only thing we can say is that the roads are probably safer tonight.

Seems like he got off pretty easy considering what he did to the guy riding along with him.

But on the other hand, I don't think he forced him to ride along. Plus he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.

Which is illegal in Florida btw.


At least this douche bag is off the road for a few years. Maybe he will learn a lesson.

^lesson? He probably doesn't even know there's a lesson to learn...

He'll have his license back in three years and he almost killed someone. I think he got off easy. He shouldn't be allowed to drive again after what he did.

I absolutely love how one of Nick's "punishments" is not being allowed to consume alcohol for 5 years. The kid is 17. They basically told him not do something that is already illegal for him to do for the next 4 years.

500 hours of community service over the period of 5 years? Oooh, one 8 hour day a month, every month, for 5 years?

With the county he got sentenced in we'll be lucky if he does a month in jail. With good behavior, gain time, and over crowding down there I wouldn't be surprised to see him get out in about 3 weeks.

Meanwhile his "friend" still has a softball sized hole in his forehead, and will be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

I think he got off easy too, but his friend was also irresponsible. His friend is pretty "lucky" to still be alive. I don't know what exactly happened, but I'm sure that his friend didn't tell him that it was a bad idea.

8 months in jail is a light sentence, but he still has 5 years on probation. So if he does something stupid, which I assume includes driving without a license, then hopefully his punishment will be more severe.

And just think; if he had been driving drunk, his punishment would have been less severe.
