Nick Hogan Sentenced 8 Months in Jail
May 9, 2008 by whenyourebored
Nick Hogan was sentenced to 8 months in jail, 5 years of probration, and his license revoked for 3 years.
In addition to the jail time, which begins immediately, Bollea, 17, was sentenced to 5 years probation, during which he will serve 500 hours of community service, not be allowed to drink any alcohol and have his driver’s license revoked for 3 years.
“I think there is an understanding of what happened, and there is a sense of acceptance of responsibility,” the judge said, explaining his decision. “There is nothing that the court can impose that is close to what John has dealt with or will have to deal with as he moves forward.”
Leaving the courthouse, Bollea’s family did not address reporters. His attorneys did say that Bollea was “happy” with the sentence, and happy that the case was finished.
Nick’s family was all there to support. But this might be the last straw for the Hogan family. Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan) has split from his wife Linda Bollea, and with Nick in jail it’s only Brooke left. I just hope they can keep it together.
Last year, Nick and his best friend John were involved in a car accident, and now John and his family are suing. But it appears like Nick is accepting his repsonsibility and only offers his apologies to the victim’s family.
“Nick Bollea resolved his criminal charges today by pleading no contest to the charge of reckless driving with injury. Nick took responsibility for his actions and was sentenced to county jail.
“During his probation Nick will continue his community service work with the National Wave and Freedom Group where he raises money for the J&J fund to support the recovery efforts of John Graziano as well as John Paul Fillipi who was also injured in a car accident last year.
“As always Nick will continue to focus on his friend John Graziano’s recovery.”
