Hulk Hogan’s Son Charged with DUI

Nick Bollea, Hulk Hogan’s son, was arrested in Clearwater, Florida last month stemming from a car crash back in August where his friend John Graziano was left with permanent brain damage. Graziano serves in the United States Marines.

Bollea was first handcuffed and then driven to the Pinellas County Jail by two police officers. The charges against him included felony reckless driving and also a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. Hogan’s son was not injured in the car crash.

The wreck stemmed from Bollea racing his Toyota Supra against the driver of a Dodge Viper. Bollea lost control of the Supra and slammed into a nearby palm tree.

Bollea’s DUI attorneys Morris Weinberg Jr. and Kevin Hayslett released a statement noting “Because Nick is still a juvenile and has no prior criminal record, we are disappointed that he is being charged as an adult offender. However, we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident. We ask all who follow these events to keep an open mind as to the facts until they have been ultimately determined. Finally, we thank all who have prayed for John’s recovery and ask for your continued support and prayers.”
