Nick Hogan gives a new meaning to the term “young & reckless”. New reports suggest he had been drinking beer his father, Hulk Hogan, allegedly purchased for him.
Clearwater police released documents which featured information from Barrett Lawrance, a passenger in the car Nick Hogan was racing against. He states Hogan was racing at 100mph in a 40mph zone.
Other revelations from the document include the recognition that Nick’s father Hulk Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, had bought beer at 2.14 p.m. the day of the crash, and was accompanied by his son. The documents go on to claim that the pair spent that afternoon drinking on a boat.
John Graziano, who was in the car alongside Nick when it crashed, still remains in a vegetative state in hospital as a result of the crash and will need care for the rest of his life.

Nick Hogan was booked on criminal charges related to his Aug. 26 car crash – while his attorneys tell PEOPLE, “We are confident the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident.” Hogan, 17, turned himself in Wednesday. A source close to the Hogan family tells PEOPLE that Nick will be tried as an adult.

Charges against the teen include reckless driving involving serious bodily injury in connection (a third-degree felony, punishable by a maximum five years in prison); using a motor vehicle in commission of a felony; being under age 21 and operating a vehicle while having a breath-alcohol level of .02 percent or higher; and having illegal window tinting, reports the St. Petersburg Times.
According to the paper, blood work done on Bollea two hours after the crash showed his “ethanol serum level” at 0.055 percent, as was stated by Clearwater, Fla., police investigator Todd Turpack. The blood-alcohol level at which the state presumes a driver to be under the influence is .08 percent.
Bollea was released to his parents after posting $10,000 bail. None of them spoke to reporters outside the jail.

Nick Hogan is being booked on criminal charges related to his Aug. 26 car crash – while his attorneys tell PEOPLE, “We are confident the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident.”
Hogan, 17, turned himself in Wednesday on a charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. A source close to the Hogan family says that Nick will be tried as an adult.
In August, Hogan’s yellow Toyota Supra careened off a four-lane highway in Clearwater, Fla., and crashed into a 25-ft.-tall palm tree. Hogan sustained minor injuries and was released from the hospital the next day.
His passenger and friend, John Graziano, 22, was critically injured in the crash and remains hospitalized.
Bollea Family Statement. Nick Bollea’s attorneys, Morris “Sandy” Weinberg Jr. and Kevin Hayslett, released the following statement:
“Nick and the entire ‘Hogan’ Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007. Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena – a court of law. The family’s primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick’s longtime friend John Graziano. The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can.
“The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his. Because of what happened to John, the entire Bollea family will make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt.
“There has been much speculation as to the speed and wet road conditions surrounding this accident. Although all the evidence has not been evaluated, preliminary reports from the experts indicate that this was not, in fact, a high-speed accident.
“Because Nick is still a juvenile and has no prior criminal record, we are disappointed that he is being charged as an adult offender. However, we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident. We ask all who follow these events to keep an open mind as to the facts until they have been ultimately determined. Finally, we thank all who have prayed for John’s recovery and ask for your continued support and prayers.”

Police are waiting for the results of Nick Hogan’s drug and alcohol test from his crash awhile back. According to the police report, the roads were wet at the time of the accident and the driver “disregarded other traffic control.” As you know, his passanger, his good friend, John Graziano was seriously injured and doctors say he has permanent brain damage and will never recover. Could Nick be on drugs? What do you think?

Super driver Nick Hogan managed to severely injure his passenger in the August 26th car crash when Nick hit a palm tree after speeding. The passenger, 22 year old John Graziano, is a marine who had just returned from duty in Iraq. John suffered devastating head injuries which, according to court documents, give the family only the hope that he will have the ability to open and close his eyes.
John Graziano’s mother, Debra Graziano, has legally petitioned a Florida court to permit her to assume guardianship of the 22-year-old, who remains in Bayfront Medical Center, the St. Petersburg Times reports.
Citing court papers, the paper reports that the most Graziano can hope for is to open and shut his eyes periodically. He was a passenger in 17-year-old Nick Bollea’s car when it careened off the road and struck a 25-ft.-tall palm tree in downtown Clearwater, Fla., police said.
The papers also state that Graziano was not wearing a seat belt. Police continue to investigate the accident, and no charges have been filed.
A nurse hired by the court filed a report on Sept. 19 that described Graziano as comatose and on life support, and also said he may have suffered a seizure, says the Times.
Nick has a history of driving without thinking and crazt.
Within the first year of obtaining his license, Nick was ticketed five times and received four points on his license. Those charges included a violation for going 115 mph in a 70 mph zone, 57 mph in a 30 and 106 mph in a 70. The most recent ticket prior to his crash occurred on August 10, 2007, when Nick was ticketed after his 1998 Toyota was recorded going 82 mph in a 45 mph active construction zone.
In an interview with Rides Magazine, Nick said he was pulled over three times in the same day while driving over 100 mph, and that the final time, the only one where he was ticketed, his actual speed was 123 mph in a 50 mph zone.
“In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, ‘Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.’ Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, ‘I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.’ Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, ‘Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket.’”
So the cool thing to do is brag about that? Someone pretty much lost their lives if all they can do is blink….They are a shell of the person they one were. It’s sad and I hope he does feel bad about this. I hope some sort of charges are brought against him because he seems to think he’s indestructible.

Nick Hogan pleaded no contest to a ticket he received for driving twice the speed limit just two weeks before he got into a car crash. Let’s hope he finally learned his lesson after his accident. Probably not though. The kid that was riding with Nick is apparently still in the hospital and the Hogan family is asking that you pray for him. Of course, if he isn’t to make it, Nick would be charged with a bunch more things…..Good thinking Nick, way to use your head.
