Nick Bollea Will Do Time

Posted by chrissie on May 13th, 2008 filed in Celebrity Arrests

Is it just a coincidence that this happened right around the same time that Hulk Hogan’s ‘American Gladiators’ was kicking off? Well, he may have been the professional persona in front of the camera, but Hulk Hogan needs some gladiators in his own life.

His son, Nick Bollea, has just been sentenced to 8 months of jail and five years probation for the car crash that critically injured his best friend. Nick will also be surrendering his driving privileges for three years. Nick plead no contest to charges going back to November, where he was arrested and charged with felony reckless driving causing severe bodily harm to his friend John Graziano. John left the scene with a broken skull and other serious injuries that will require lifetime medical attention. T

he cause of the accident boils down to some idiotic kid tricks, where Nick was racing his father’s car, during which he clipped a curb and spun out of control and head on into a palm tree in Clearwater, Florida. Nick walked away and well, John well, didn’t. Nick’s sentence began immediately, and he was removed from court to start his time as soon as the hearing closed.

This is one of those things where I just kind of go hmmm….is 8 months really enough? Granted yes probation for 5 years, and some driving privileges lost, but seriously?? 8 months for HIM and the dude he injured needs medical treatment for life. It just doesn’t quite sound fair enough, does it.
