16 Years After He Ruined Marine’s Life, Hulk Hogan’s Son Gets Arrested in the Same City
Nick Hogan, Son of Hulk Hogan, Arrested for DUI in Clearwater, Florida
Nicholas Bollea, better known as Nick Hogan thanks to his dad’s celebrity status, has been arrested in Clearwater, Florida.
Bollea, the son of legendary pro wrestler Terry “Hulk Hogan” Bollea, was arrested Saturday for DUI, according to Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office records.
The records indicate that Bollea declined to take a sobriety test during the arrest.
The PCSO records show that the 33-year-old was released on a $500 bond.
According to TMZ, a post on Bollea’s Instagram account indicated he was at a bikini contest at Hogan’s Hangout, his father’s Clearwater restaurant on Friday night, shortly before the Saturday morning arrest.
Social media posts from the restaurant said Bollea and his famous father would be hosting the event.
Typically, a DUI arrest that doesn’t follow a serious accident isn’t especially noteworthy, even when involving a celebrity’s son.
But this one is noteworthy because of something that happened 15 years ago — also in Clearwater.
As the Tampa Bay Times reported, Bollea was involved in a deadly car accident in 2007.
Authorities say the then-17-year-old was racing a friend when his car careened off the road and wrapped around a tree.
While Bollea largely emerged unscathed, the same cannot be said for his passenger and friend, Marine John Graziano.
The accident left Graziano with severe brain damage, and he now requires everyday assistance.
Bollea’s arrest Saturday — particularly given the location and circumstances — did not go unnoticed by Graziano’s mother, who tore into him when speaking with TMZ.
Debra Graziano told the outlet that Bollea exhibited a “total lack of respect for what [he] did to another person’s life and you’re still driving reckless.”
She continued, “I can only pray that at some point in his life, while he still has the chance, that he turns his life around. Until then I hope no one else gets hurt.”
Finally, Graziano said that while she doesn’t have much to be thankful about regarding the tragic situation of her son, there was one blessing she could count.
“I grieve the virtual loss of my son on a daily basis,” she told TMZ. “I thank God daily that at least I have John here with us at home.”

The incident quickly spread on social media (Nick Bollea’s social media accounts have since all been turned to private), where the gravity of it all wasn’t lost even on professional internet trolls:
Nick Hogan has already been to prison for paralyzing his best friend in a drunk driving accident…it looks like he didn’t learn much from that experience. https://t.co/RRToy3I3re

What is the response from Debra Graziano, the mother of the individual who suffered severe brain damage in the previous car accident involving Bollea?
Once again found himself in legal trouble. The son of renowned professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, Nicholas Bollea, better known as Nick Hogan, was recently arrested for DUI in Clearwater, Florida.
According to official records from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, Bollea was taken into custody on Saturday for driving under the influence. The 33-year-old reportedly refused to take a sobriety test during his arrest.
Bollea was later released on a $500 bond, as indicated by the PCSO records. Prior to his arrest, he had been at a bikini contest held at Hogan’s Hangout, his father’s restaurant in Clearwater, as suggested by a post on his Instagram account.
The incident gained attention on social media, especially due to Bollea’s involvement in a fatal car accident that occurred 15 years ago in the same city. In 2007, Bollea, then 17 years old, was racing a friend when his car crashed into a tree, resulting in severe brain damage to his passenger, John Graziano, a Marine. Graziano now requires daily assistance for his wellbeing.
Following Bollea’s recent arrest, Graziano’s mother, Debra Graziano, expressed her disappointment and anger in an interview with TMZ. She criticized Bollea for his reckless behavior and lack of remorse, stating that she hopes he turns his life around before anyone else gets hurt further.
Despite the tragedy that has befallen their family, Graziano stated that she is grateful to still have her son with them at home, even though she mourns the loss of the life he once had.
The news of Bollea’s arrest quickly circulated on social media platforms, with many users acknowledging the seriousness of the situation. Bollea has since made his social media accounts private.
While DUI arrests involving celebrity’s children are not uncommon, Bollea’s case carries significant weight due to the history of his previous accident. It serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences that reckless behavior can have on innocent lives.
As the legal proceedings progress, it is hoped that justice will be served, and all parties involved can find some form of closure and healing.
