Today in Clearwater, Florida Nick Bollea (son of wrestler Hulk Hogan) pleaded no contest to reckless driving relating to the August 2007 accident that left his passenger John Graziano incapacitated. He was sentenced to eight months in county jail, five years probation, 500 hours of community service (though that service may not include public speaking), and a revoked drivers license for three years.
“Something has to be done to show this is not acceptable,” the judge said.
During his five years of probation, Bollea is not allowed to drink alcohol and he must undergo an alcohol evaluation and treatment. Within the next year, he is expected to attend DUI and advanced driving school.
Graziano’s father urged the judge to consider jail time. He commented that, “This has gone on long enough and needs to be stopped.” Members of Graziano’s family claim Bollea has not shown remorse or apologized for the crash.
There is still civil suit in the future, because Graziano’s legal guardian Peter Musante is suing Terry Bollea (Hulk Hogan), Bollea’s estranged wife, Linda, and Nick Bollea. Reports say that millions of dollars are needed to care for Graziano, who resides at James A. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa.
