Nick Bollea Hogan - Hulk Hogan's Son Gets Eight Months in Jail, John Graziano Injured

CLEARWATER, Fla. — Hulk Hogan's 17-year-old son will serve eight months in jail along with five years of probation after he entered a plea of "no contest" Friday on charges of felony reckless driving.

As part of the plea agreement, Nick Bollea's attorneys had asked that their client not serve more than one year in county jail and five years of probation. Without the plea arrangement, Bollea could have faced up to five years in state prison.

Authorities say Bollea was racing a friend last August in his father's sports car when he hit a curb and slammed into a palm tree. The impact critically hurt his friend, John Graziano, who was not wearing a seat belt and now requires a lifetime of care.

Hogan, his wife Linda Bollea and daughter Brooke Hogan were all present at Pinellas County court along with Bollea.

Clearwater police said the Aug. 26, 2007, incident happened when Bollea crashed his 1998 Toyota Supra while street racing against a silver Dodge Viper driven by Daniel Jacobs. A report said Bollea was driving faster than 60 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Bollea's passenger, Graziano — a 22-year-old Marine who served in Iraq — was not wearing a seat belt and was critically injured. Bollea, who was wearing a seat belt, was not seriously injured.

In November, Bollea's license was suspended for six months for allegedly having a blood alcohol level of 0.055 percent as a minor at the time of the accident. He was also clocked in April 2007 driving 106 mph.

Besides the reckless driving charge, authorities cited Bollea for using a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, being a driver under 21 operating a vehicle with a blood-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or higher and having illegal window tinting.

The blood-alcohol level at which Florida law presumes an adult driver to be impaired is 0.08 percent.
