Local News: Bollea’s License Further Suspended
It seems a small price to pay for the pain still being endured by more than one family.
Starting December 10, Nick Bollea’s driver’s license will be suspended for a year. Bollea is, in case you are unaware, the won of famous wrestler and Clearwater resident Hulk Hogan. His license is in risk of being permanently suspended if he fails to pay a fine for driving 106 mph in Osceola County in April.
In case you’ve been under a rock lately, Bollea’s (age 17) driving in general has been on the spotlight after his August 26 wreck that left his friend John Graziano critically injured. In fact, many sources say Graziano is still in a coma, unresponsive, and perhaps destined to remain that way for the rest of his life.
Bollea was charged with reckless driving with serious bodily injury. A spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles says, “We’ve deemed him dangerous to the general public on the road.”
An affidavit filed in support of the reckless-driving charge says that two hours after the wreck, Bollea’s blood-alcohol level was .055. In Florida, your license can be suspended if you are under 18 when your blood-alcohol level is found to be .02 or higher.
Bollea’s license has was already restricted to business purposes in September after he pleaded no contest to charges of driving 82 mph in a construction zone in U.S. 19 August.
Bollea’s driving record leading up to the accident shows that he has long had an issue with irresponsible driving habits. Many in the community wonder why it took almost ending a life to finally make authorities get involved?
