Hulk Hogan's Son Sentenced To Eight Months In Jail

Nick Bollea will not be allowed to drive for three years and be on probation for five years.

Sentenced to 500 hours of community service as well

CLEARWATER (CBS4) ― A Florida judge sentenced Hulk Hogan's son to eight months in jail, five years probation and 500 hours of community service for his part in a street racing accident that left his friend John Graziano critically injured.

17-year-old Nick Bollea threw himself on the mercy of the court Friday afternoon when he agreed to drop his fight against a felony reckless driving charge.

Authorities say Bollea was racing a friend in August in his father's sports car when he hit a curb and slammed into a palm tree. The impact critically hurt his friend, John Graziano, who was not wearing a seat belt and now requires a lifetime of care.
