Hulk Hogan's son to face criminal charges
Filed under: Teens, Just For Dads, Celeb Kids, Celeb Parents, Alcohol & Drugs
Hulk Hogan's son, 17-year-old Nick, will be tried as an adult with charges stemming from the August 22 car crash that left his passenger John Graziano critically injured. The charges against him include reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, which is third degree felony and punishable by a maximum of five years in prison. He is also charged with using a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, being under the age of 21 and operating a vehicle while having a breath-alcohol level of .02 percent or higher, and having illegal window tinting.
He turned himself in to be booked on the charges yesterday and after posting $10,000 bail, he was released to his family. His attorney tells People, "We are confident the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident."
Nick's attorneys released a statement in which they express the Hogans family's sadness that criminal charges have been filed and insist the the charges will be answered "in the appropriate arena – a court of law". The statement then goes on to point out that while Nick was wearing a seat belt, John was not. The statement claims the mention of the seatbelt-wearing facts of the accident are due to the family's desire to "make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt." Is it just me, or does that seem like an odd thing to bring up in response to Nick's arrest?

Joy said...I find it a little odd also. They are "saddened" about the arrest?? Well I guess so. I'm not sure this kid has ever been accountable for anything. Very sad lesson to have to learn.

BabyLove77 said...Sounds to me like they want to shift the focus to the injured boy. As if to say, "It's not Nick's fault this guy is STILL in the hospital. Nick was wearing his seatbelt and is just fine. If the other kid had been wearing his seatbelt, then Nick wouldn't be in any kind of trouble."

AngelaFay said...If you have ever watched the Hogan's show you would see what kind of guy Nick is. (Or at least part of what he is...edits taken into consideration.) He was all about speed with his dad's cars and really had the 'I'm rich - so what does it matter' take on the rules we all have to follow. All that aside - looking into his recent traffic violations proves that he's a risk to the public. I hope he gets more than a slap on the wrist.
