Clearwater, Florida — Nicholas Bollea was arrested Wednesday morning for Reckless Driving Involving Serious Bodily Injury. He turned himself in at the Pinellas County Jail.
Bollea, who is the son of wrestler Hulk Hogan, was involved in a high-speed crash in August that left his friend critically injured. 22-year-old John Graziano III remains in the hospital, reportedly on life support.
Police have been investigating the crash, but up until this point, no charges had been filed. Investigators say Bollea was racing his Toyota Supra against a Dodge Viper when he lost control and crashed into a tree.
The driver of the Dodge Viper, 22-year-old Daniel Jacobs, has been issued a court summons for Reckless Driving.
Clearwater Police has also confirmed that the Dodge Viper did belong to Hulk Hogan, and Jacobs was a friend of Nick's who was driving it.
In addition to Reckless Driving Involving Serious Bodily Injury, Bollea is also charged with:

Use of a motor vehicle in commission of a felony
A person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher
illegal window tint

Here's a link to the news station in his home town that shows his car and the silver Viper lining up to race as other cars drive around them. It's surveillance footage from a nearby Jeep sales lot. Click the link then click the "video story" to see the footage.

Screw him. The ADA will probably plea the entire case down to window tint anyway.

Ever since Nick Bollea was the driver in a horrible car crash in Clearwater on August 26, he and his family have said Nick was not speeding, and they've denounced street racing.
But the ABC Action News Investigators have obtained a DVD which might show a different side. The 2005 documentary is titled "Vehicular Lunatics". It was filmed at several Florida locations, including Saint Petersburg and Orlando. One "Extra" on the DVD is called "Street Racing With Linda Hogan.
At one point, Linda Bollea (Hogan) is seen alongside another car. Linda Bollea is driving a car identified as a Mercedes S600. Her daughter, Brooke is her passenger. Brooke says to the men in the adjacent car, "Wanna race?" One of the men replies, "Yeah! We love racing you! On three." Brooke replies, "Let's do this. Alright." Then Linda Bollea says "Let's kick it."
The cars take off, but their speeds are not known.
Nick Bollea and his father Terry Jean, better known from his wrestling days as Hulk Hogan, are also seen in the documentary.
Two years later, 17 year old Nick is charged with felony reckless driving after a crash leaves a friend in a coma, and after Nick was pulled over four times for speeding. At one point in the documentary, his mother was asked how she feels about street racing.
Her answer: "Oh, I love it. I love it. The rush, the speed on the road, stereo blasting, heart-pounding, racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It's awesome."
ABC Action News Investigative Reporter Matthew Schwartz interviewed the family in their home hours before Nick's arrest two weeks ago, and Linda Bollea denied making that remark when Matthew asked if she said it on the tape.
Mrs. Bollea says, "I never said that. I never would have said that."
The attorney for the mother of Nick Bollea's injured passenger, 22-year old John Graziano, a Marine from Dunedin, had previously said he's planning a civil suit against the Bolleas.
We showed the documentary "Vehicular Lunatics" to Tim Prugh. He's a civil attorney in Tampa who is not involved in the case. Prugh says the video could be damaging to the Bolleas, "Damaging enough where I would attempt to keep it out if I were defending the people that were representing Mr. Bollea. And if I represent the injured party, I want to get that into evidence to demonstrate that they were enthusiastic racers and it was in the family."
Meanwhile, John Graziano remains in critical condition, in a coma, at the James Haley V.A. Hospital in Tampa.

Linda Hogan.. whatever is a complete idiot. I find her to be one of the stupidest women alive.

**Evans** · 11-20-07, 12:14 PM

Sounds like Nickey boy is screwed!!!!

**The Lostralian** · 11-20-07, 12:24 PM

I always knew that this little shit head was gonna get himself in big trouble one of these days. His hobby finally caught up to him. His family is stupider for supporting such a sport.

Screwed, blued and tattooed

**gozling** · 11-20-07, 12:38 PM

hulk may get dad of the year
but mom scrapes the bottom of the rat infested trap she lives in

dodging the cops? what is she 14?
sure hope they dont mind living in a small home in rural america
cus that family of that marine will fucking own them now
and they should.
nick is a moron and should have been yanked around a long time ago.

i have no sympathy for this family.
i am sure they have their good moments...
and it was great meeting that hulk guy here when he did his tour for the marines.. nice guy...
but there is something really messed up behind the doors where repeatedly this guy 'nick' could fuck up so many times and have it finally escalate to what it did...

he had enough warnings...
now he will pay the price
in more ways than money
