Nick Hogan was found guilty for reckless driving. Currently he is sitting in jail in Florida. The third degree felony has put him behind bars for 8 months.
“He was also given five years of probation starting today with no alcohol during the full probation period. His license was revoked until Nick turns 21.
Nick pled “no contest” via his lawyer before Judge Philip Federico at the Pinellas (Fla.) County Court this afternoon. The family of John Graziano had asked for no less than one year in jail for Bollea.”
After the sentencing, John Graziano’s half brother was livid. Obviously not caring about what consequences Nick faces, he said that he just wants his brother to get better. He also mentioned that Nick and the rest of the Hogan family have barely spent any time with John. It was also mentioned by John’s father that the little time he spent with him he was playing with dart guns and skateboarding.
Nick stood there sans real emotion. He took the sentencing and then was immediately taken into custody. If what John’s father said is true I have a hard time feeling sorry for him. The Hulk also admitted that his show Hogan Knows Best is scripted. TMZ also mentions that his soon to be ex wife is wearing a wedding ring on her left ring finger. Interesting but beside the point. Brooke was also there in her best Sunday Whore Outfit. (Seriously she looks like a reject from Paris’ BFF contest.) Here is a bit of the play by play.
UPDATE 2:45 ET: The Hulk — Terry Bollea’s his real name — steps up: He repeats that John G. was “like a son” and that they went on family trips. Hulk says they sent John PowerBars to Iraq.
UPDATE 2:42 ET: John’s mom says, quite eloquently, “I’m not seeking revenge, only justice.” And the family and state’s witnesses are done.
UPDATE 2:36 ET: Amazing — the mom is totally holding it together in front of the judge! John’s mom Debra Graziano quite resolutely that Nick doesn’t seem apologetic — and begs the judge to find Nick guilty.
UPDATE 2:32 ET: Nick is an idiot, part 879: Ashley says that Nick’s license plate COEHSP stands for “Capable of Eluding High Speed Pursuit.” Not anymore.
UPDATE 2:27 ET: Ashley Berry, John’s girlfriend, is speaking — trying her best to, at least. She says they were together for seven years. She describes having to watch a movie with him in his hospital bed — and not knowing if he can hear or understand anything.
UPDATE 2:25 ET: Now up, John’s sister Christian Carson. She says that sometimes she tries to call him, and breaks down when she realizes she can’t. Tough. And she says that Nick has never apologized for the crash.
UPDATE 2:21 ET: Ed Graziano says that Hulk and Linda haven’t been there for John, now or even before, even though they claim he was like a “brother” to Nick. Ed asks the judge to throw the book at him.
Ugh. Remind me to never make friends with the Hogans.

Clearwater, Florida Police have arrested Nick Hogan for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. See the video.
 He turned himself in to Clearwater Police this morning and is currently being booked in to the Pinellas County Jail.
Hogan was involved in a one-car crash in August that severely injured his friend, John Graziano.
John has severe brain injuries and will likely require specialized care for the rest of his life.
In addition to being arrested for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, cops also cited Hogan for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having an Illegal window tint.
Nick blames the victim for his injuries,
 “Nick and the entire Hogan Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007.
Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena a court of law. The family’s primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick’s longtime friend John Graziano. The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can.
The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his.”
What others said:
- Dlisted says, “Are they basically blaming John for not wearing a seatbelt?! The audacity!
- I Don’t Like You in That Way says, “in case you didn’t know, your client has been cited for speeding four times since getting his license two years ago. He’s the Grim Reaper with illegal tint. This wasn’t an accident, this was eventual.”
- Hollywood Grind says, “Nick Hogan’s mugshot does not convey someone who has any remorse for turning his military veteran friend into a vegetable.”
- The Superficial says, “It’s cool. This is totally the fault of the kid who didn’t wear his seatbelt. I’ve always maintained that, when in doubt, blame the person in the coma. Drag racing drunk? Pssh. That’s nothing. But not wearing a seatbelt? Christ, don’t people have any respect for the law anymore?”
